This video was created for the August 2017 solar eclipse, but the advice if offers is relevant to the 20 North American eclipses too.
#SUN CORONA CLIPART MP4#
MP4 video (running time 4 m 27 s) explaining that it's safe to look directly at the totally eclipsed Sun and highlighting some of the ways to safely view the uneclipsed or partially eclipsed Sun.

Images like these, taken by Hi-C, hint that these braided structures release magnetic energy that likely contributes to the intense heating of the solar corona.Here you'll find an assortment of images and videos of solar eclipses and people experiencing them. For decades scientists have sought to understand why the corona is 50 to 100 times hotter than the surface of the sun. This particular braided structure released energy in a small solar flare, shortly after the Hi-C flight. Zoomed in, these braided structures appear to be several strands, or magnetic field lines, tangled together, illuminated by hot plasma. Within the Hi-C field-of-view, scientists identified several examples of coronal braiding-structures that appear to be wrapped and woven together. The Hi-C telescope captured five minutes of data of the solar corona at about five times finer resolution than SDO's AIA.

The square area outlined in yellow in the full disk image of the sun, taken by the Atmospheric Imaging Array (AIA) on NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO), represents the Hi-C field-of-view. In July 2012 NASA's High Resolution Coronal Imager, or Hi-C, telescope launched on a sounding rocket and captured the highest-resolution images ever taken of the sun's million-degree atmosphere, or corona.
