Solar sunglasses
Is there any way to make a pair of lenses that can be used to stare directly at the sun without any damage occurring to yourself or the lenses? Money is not an issue.

Re: Solar sunglasses
Do you mean something like a special pair of sunglasses? or something like a pair of binoculars?
What are you trying to achieve?

Something like this: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/ ... cular.html but without magnification. How would this look?
Also how would I be able to use binoculars like the one linked to look for stuff during sunset?

Re: Solar sunglasses
Just use a set of eclipse glasses?
Yes, the binoculars you linked are suitable for looking at the sun at sunset.
