Will Starling At A Solar Eclipse Make You Go Blind?

Yes this should be emphasized. Looking at a totally eclipsed disc is completely safe.

Two pirates were talking over grog. One had a peg leg, a hook, and an eye patch. One says to the other:
“You’ve told yer stories 'bout the leg and the hook. But 'owd you lose the eye?”

The other replies:
“'Twas a solar eclipse. The grandest sight in the ‘eavens. But a starling spoiled the moment by shittin’ in me eye.”

“That don’t make sense. Ye don’t go blind from bird shite. Just wipe it off.”

“Twas me first day with the hook.”

It’s like seeing cleavage. A quick glance and then you look away!
