As in a solar eclipse, do not look directly at the sun. There are ways to watch the Venus transit without blinding yourself. If you have a pair of eclipse glasses from a previous solar eclipse, now is a good time to reuse it. You can also find the special viewing glasses at your local museum — if they're not already sold out. Another option is to buy welder's glasses from a home improvement store, but make sure it's number 14 or darker.
