I would really like the back story on how that happened.

[–] 1 pt (edited )

Just had a brief but intense snow storm and the clouds were clearing out rapidly. There was a really beautiful intense patch of what I thought were crespuscular rays coming through the swirling clouds and it was really pretty. But the clouds cleared a little more and my eyes began to ache and it turns out I had just been staring directly into the sun the entire time.

How are you reading all this if the sun made you blind

Didn't blind me just made my eyes hurt a lot. There was always at least partial cloud coverage before I realized it was the sun

I did this for a good number of seconds a few years back during an eclipse. I thought the cloud layers would block things but later read that it doesn't. Was worried about it.

Everyone thinks I'm a retard, but I had a damn good reason for staring directly into the sun
