⚠️
Never look without protection
A partial eclipse is never safe to view with the naked eye. Use certified solar eclipse glasses (ISO 12312-2) or projection. During an annular eclipse the Sun is never fully covered — the "ring of fire" is blinding, so glasses stay on the entire time. Full safety guide →
