How to look at the solar eclipse?
According to NASA, it is never safe to look directly at the sun during an annular eclipse without specialised eye protection as you could permanently damage your eyes.
When watching an annular (or even partial) solar eclipse people should always look at it using approved solar viewing glasses (AKA eclipse glasses) or a handheld solar viewer.
What is a solar eclipse?
A solar eclipse occurs when the moon passes between the Sun and Earth, casting the moon’s shadow on Earth. This only happens occasionally, because the moon doesn’t orbit in the exact same plane as the Sun and Earth do.
Two things need to occur at once for you to see a solar eclipse: the Sun, moon, and Earth need to be in a straight line, with the moon between the Sun and Earth; and you need to be standing in the correct spot on Earth.
