🌞 Don’t miss the partial solar eclipse on Wednesday 12 August! The moon will pass in front of the sun, partially blocking its light in a celestial display.

🕕 When: Depending on where you are, around 6pm to 8pm

If you’re planning to watch, remember – never look directly at the sun, even during an eclipse. Doing so can cause permanent eye damage. Cloudy skies don’t make it safe, and ordinary sunglasses won’t protect your eyes.

The only safe way to look directly at the eclipse is by using certified eclipse glasses that meet international safety standards.

No eclipse glasses? No problem! Make a simple pinhole viewer at home and enjoy the eclipse safely. It’s a fun activity to try with the kids over the weekend.
