It's basically a partial solar eclipse at sunrise. Depending on the orbit on the moon the moon can look bigger or in this case slightly smaller than the sun. Which in this case creates this crescent like sun.

Is it bad for eyesight?

No better or worse than staring at the sun under normal circumstances. So yeah, bad.

Slightly better than looking at it normally, cause half of it's covered. Still not good for your eyes though

True. But I'm not gonna risk saying that to someone who's asking if looking at the sun is bad or not.
