No one should ever look directly at the sun, even during an eclipse. Many options for indirect viewing are outlined in this video.

A solar eclipse occurs when the moon blocks any part of the sun. On Monday, August 21, 2017, a solar eclipse will be visible (weather permitting) across all of North America. The whole continent will experience a partial eclipse lasting 2 to 3 hours. Halfway through the event, anyone within a roughly 70-mile-wide path from Oregon to South Carolina will experience a brief total eclipse. There the moon completely blocks the sun's bright face for up to 2 minutes 40 seconds, turning day into night and making visible the otherwise hidden solar corona -- the sun's outer atmosphere -- one of nature's most awesome sights. Bright stars and planets will become visible as well.
