   The only time I've found it 'relatively safe' to look directly at the sun   
   was when the clouds were thick enough to make it look dimmer then the moon,   
   but not quite thick enough to obscure it completely. Even so I'd advise   
   making a habit of it. From a wide variety of things, I've lost significant   
   night-sight in the centre of my vision. Quite unfortunate at 25. :(
