Did you ever see or watch a solar eclipse?

It is said for our good that a solar eclipse should never be watched live for the safety of our eyes. But sometimes it is shown live on TV or other media and this is not harful to watch, and I watched it only once. Did you?

Yes i managed to experience it a couple of times. Unfortunately never had the goggles for it, but looked through CDs instead, those worked well enough, eclipses are awesome to watch. In fact during the day you never realise how fast the sun moves (actually we are the one moving, whatever) but when another object comes closer it's easier to spot and compare the pace.

I have seen both the solar and the lunar eclipse. We watched the solar eclipse in our science class with welders masks. It was a great experience, I think we even got to use magnifying glasses that day to start fires.

I watched a solar eclipse, I think it was about 2 years ago. We filled a bucket with water and watched the eclipse reflected in the water.
