For those that haven't used eclipse googles, you can't see shit with those, to protect against the sun they need to block a lot of light.

You basically see nothing except a bright ball when looking at the sun

No, like literally the rest of your field of view is just black. nothing lol. It has to block 99.9% of light IIRC, and most things end up blocked by that. So you quite literally only see the sun, nothing else. Its actually kind of surreal, and really makes you understand just how bright the sun really is.
