How to watch without going blind. Simple, smoke up a piece of glass with a candle and look through the smoked glass. I have done this myself. Saw a solar eclipse some years back using this method. Also, the year is 1989, not 1889, and scientists now have much better methods than they did 150 years ago.
Well, I am 69, and I have seen an aurora in New Jersey before I left the state at age 18. They were colored shimmering curtains of light.
