    Is there any issue in traveling to see a solar eclipse?

    Answer:

    There is no issue per se in seeing it. However, one should not look intently for safety reasons.

    Obviously, once you take into account if it causes unnecessary bittul Torah.

    One does not make a bracha upon seeing it.

      Is it permitted to leave Eretz Yisroel to see a solar eclipse? Specifically, where one can see the partial eclipse in E”Y, but the full one can only be seen in chutz la’aretz (as will be the case on August 2nd, 2027).
