Like, I don't plan to stare at the sun, eclipse or not. Quick glance or looking off to the side for a moment to get the idea? Maybe.
Even still, even if we looked, my understanding from the past was that the real risk comes when a majority of the sun is covered - your eyes adjust to the darkness that is created, and are burned by the portions of the sun that peak through as it slowly emerges. So how much of the sun is really going to be covered from the southern Michigan viewers? Seems like we may be far enough from the main event that only a small portion will be covered, so our eyes won't really adjust, and we'll be fine without the glasses, basic sunglasses would be fine.
Am I totally wrong here?
