Can you go blind looking directly at a lunar eclipse?
It is safe to look at a lunar eclipse without protective glasses, although wearing some wouldn't hurt. But a solar eclipse could damage your eyes. ChaCha

About Lunar Eclipse
A lunar eclipse takes place when the shadow of the earth passes between the sun and the moon. There is always a full moon the night of a lunar eclipse.
About Solar Eclipse
A solar eclipse occurs when the moon's orbit takes it to a position between the Earth and the Sun. The moon's image makes it appear that a 'bite' is taken out of the sun. The moon can completely cover the sun (at least it appears so) during a total eclipse of the sun. These are very rare, and in ancient times were thought to be mystical occurrences.
