Does the eclipse mess up your eye sight?
Viewing a lunar eclipse is perfectly safe for your eyes, however, viewing a solar eclipse can permanently burn your eyes because while the sun is obscured the full extent of radiation you would normally get from staring directly at the sun is still present. ChaCha again!

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.
