Default The chapter on sun/eclipse viewing

The chapter on sun/eclipse viewing seems to imply that, during an eclipse anyway, the most dangerous thing about the sun is the brightness; however, in the anecdote about undeveloped film, it also says that nonvisible wavelengths damage the eye. What I still don't have a verdict on is: is it safe to view the sun in early dawn and late evening, when the sun is visibly dimmer?
