Original Note:
If the sun appeared black while staring at it midday, it’s likely *solar retinopathy*. This occurs when intense sunlight damages the retina’s light receptors, causing a temporary black spot in your vision. Do not do this. https://www.healthline.com/health/staring-at-the-sun https://www.wonderopolis.org/wonder/why-cant-you-look-directly-at-the-sun https://howthingsfly.si.edu/ask-an-explainer/why-do-you-see-black-after-looking-sun
