It’s time for Eclipse again! Luckily, everyone in Southwestern Ontario will be able to witness Partial Solar Eclipse just before sunset. The eclipse in our area will still be in progress at the sunset.

So everyone get out there and witness this beautiful astronomical phenomenon BUT make sure you have special Solar/Eclipse Glasses! DO NOT LOOK AT THE SUN WITH YOUR NAKED EYE! Looking at the Sun directly can harm your retina and can even cause permanent loss of eye sight. Normal sun glasses WON’T DO! Make sure to explain children about the ill effects of looking at the Sun directly. And no you cannot use Floppy Disk (do they even exist?) and Compact Disks (CDs) to view eclipse. Many indirect methods are also used to view the eclipse.

For people (like me), who are crazy about photography, make sure to use proper solar filter! Camera is your second eye, you do not want to lose your second vision 🙂 For more information on Photography of Eclipse, check this link out!

Stay safe, enjoy the beauty of nature!
