Rare Solar Eclipse!





Solar Eclipse is going to happen tomorrow here!!! I have never seen one of them anywhere and it is letting me further anxious! I can't wait to see because I always wanted to observe and to be present in one of this exceptions natural events, if you know what I mean. Anyway, the eclipse is tomorrow from 5:15 pm to 7:40 pm, USA pacific time. The peak will be between 6:15 pm and 6:45 pm. The second picture shows in which parts of the world will be possible to see it. Feel privileged if you're in the area that will avail it! The moon will not cover the Sun completely, about 94%.


Ring of fire is a expression used to refer to the moment when the moon covers the sun and as a result the color of the sun and that specific shape remind us a "ring of fire".


So, I read here that tomorrow, during the eclipse, there will have a Meditation Celebration, like the own site says, in the Ocean Beach. If you like this kind of thing... this is a tip!


I read this news as well, that we can't see the Eclipse without eyes protection or else you will become blind! So, take care because neither sunglasses nor see through a car window which has been treated with a sun-filtering screen can protect your eyes of this kind of light! The protection is really necessary because they have a thin layer of aluminium, chromium or silver and one of these things can attenuate the ultraviolet, visible and infrared energy. Take a double care of it: if you look at the eclipse without protection and you don't feel your eyes painful, it doesn't guarantee that they are safe, I mean, you can not feel the searing pain immediately!


Take your eclipse glasses and enjoy this rare moment like if it's the last one in your life!
