Is it true that eclipse glasses are required to view a solar eclipse safely?

Yes. NASA's eclipse safety guidance states that the Sun must be viewed through eclipse glasses or a handheld solar viewer during partial phases, with the only exception being the brief totality. An astronomy reference likewise notes glasses are needed whenever any part of the Sun is visible.
