OK, OK

Enough reminders from off-list contacts have reminded me that, yes, the
corona of the Sun does indeed emit strong doses of Ultra-violet radiation
and x-rays.  While the X-rays are pretty much absorbed by the atmosphere,
there is still enough ultra-violet making it through to be concerned about.
As I indicated in my original message,  it is always recommended that you
view an eclipse via projection or strong filters.   Also, stay clear of
those little mylar eclipse-viewing glasses.  They are very easily damaged.

Best.  Matt
