Observing the Sun can be dangerous, and looking at the Sun through an optical aid without adequate precautions, or even with the naked eye, can result in permanent damage to the eye(s). Probably all professional astronomers and most amateur astronomers are aware of the danger but the general public is not. Further, it is not easy to find authoritative guidance on how to observe the Sun in safety. This article discusses the problem and dangers, and suggests which precautions may be considered reasonably safe.
