Is sun-gazing healthy in any way?

-------------------------------------------------------

answers:
kurisutarusqueaker say: not really. especially without the proper eye protection. it causes more harm. but while sun gazing with proper eye care, and not out in the sun too long, you can get a good dose of vitamin d.
-
Ronald 7 say: Not if you do it with care
-
quantumclaustrophobe say: No, not in any way.
Go out & get some sun, but don't stare *at* the sun... Did you ever take a magnifying glass to focus the sun's light to burn sticks & leaves...? That's what the lens in your eye is doing to your retina when you look at the sun.
-
poldi2 say: Only if you like burnt retinas and blindness.
-
daniel g say: Other than a little vitamin D, it isn't healthy. To LOOK at the sun, will permanently damage your eyes without the right filtering.
-
ReductioAdAstronomicus say: It is very healthy for the financial wellbeing of ophthalmologists.
-
Clive say: No, unless you want your eyes damaged.
-
nineteenthly say: You can use hydrogen alpha filters or project the Sun onto a plain surface like a piece of paper, in which case that's quite harmless.
-
Gerald say: When done with Hydrogen-Alpha or other filters, it is fascinating. I've watched solar flares in H-Alpha go from a tiny bump on the Sun's limb to loops large enough to fit several Earths inside, in the course of an hour.
-
Henry say: no it is not healthy
-
The Mikel say: No. It leads to blindness, it damages the eyes receptacles.
