*Eclipse*

                                      
In NBC's show Heroes an eclipse is very symbolic and represents a new age in super human powers. Some of the characters gained their powers from the eclipse when in reality looking into an eclipse can cause severe damage to the human eye. The lunar-solar alignment took place on Monday (4/22/2012) morning and was viewed by millions of people in some parts of Asia and The Western U.S .Doctors warned viewers to not stare into the eclipse because of incidents where people have lost their sight in doing so. Since the ancient times their have been recordings of Spectators who have gone blind.With the proper protection you could feel free to look at the sight when ever you'd like."Doctors and education official;s have warned of eye injuries from improper viewing. Before the event started, Japan's Education Minister Hirofumi Hirano demonstrated how to use eclipse glasses in a televised news conference.". NASA sells these specialized designed filter glasses that allow for you to view the sun as well but No.14 Welders glasses work just as fine. "In the most famous case of all, Isaac Newton tried looking at the sun in a mirror, essentially blinding himself for three days and experiencing afterimages for months"
...i find that funny for some odd reason
