iirc, the only safe time to look directly at the eclipse is during totality, where the moon has completely blocked the sun. But that's a pretty small window, Dustin from SmarterEveryDay put out a really informative video last month if anyone's interested. He interviews Dr. Telepun who wrote a book on it and made an app that audibly walks you through what's happening during the eclipse in real time, really neat stuff.
