On 1 August, as Cathy reminds us, a solar eclipse will grace the skies of Europe and Asia. Starting at 08.04 GMT and lasting for 4½ hours until 12.36 GMT, the UK will see between 20% and 40% of the sun's surface obscured at around 10.15 am. More info on this official NASA site.
WARNING
NEVER look DIRECTLY at the sun, with the naked eye, binoculars or darkened glass. Your sight may be irreversibly damaged or lost.

THANK YOU for posting this, Guido. The warnings especially. I know it's hard for people to turn their gaze from a solar event, but you really need protection and common sense - then you get to experience it all safely. xoxo CATHY
ReplyDeleteFrom the weather forecast, I doubt we will see any sun here Guido.
