binocular to look at the Sun!

Looking at or near the Sun will cause instant and irreversible damage
to your eye. Eye damage is often painless, so there is no warning to
the observer that damage has occurred until it is too late. Do not 
point the binocular at or near the Sun. Children should always have
adult supervision while observing.
