What are the safe ways to look at a solar eclipse without damaging your eyes?

Darling, grab yourself a pair of those fancy eclipse glasses, not your grandma's old sunglasses, and slap those bad boys on before staring at the sun. You can also get crafty and make a pinhole projector with some cardboard and aluminum foil if you want to DIY it. Just remember, staring directly at the sun during an eclipse is a no-no unless you want to end up with permanent eye damage – and no one wants that, unless you're into the pirate look. Arr!
