Is it true that if you stare straight at the eclipse it will blind you? I did not have the pleasure of seeing it this year because I fell asleep but I just want to know if that is a myth or the truth. Can the eclipse blind you if you look at it without the special glasses?

Staring at the sun can blind you. It's a pretty simple idea.
When the sun is fully eclipsed you can look directly at it without damaging your eyes, but not when any part of it is showing.
