The “supermoon” will move between
the sun and the Earth today in
an event that will darken the skies
above Northern Europe. According
to astronomers, this type of eclipse is so rare it will occur only three times more this century. A solar eclipse is to take place in the morning on March 20, but only a small part of the world will get the experience of a “totality” , or full eclipse, with a partial few-hour-long eclipse in store for residents of Europe, North Africa and West Asia. Its path will start in Greenland and move across the North Atlantic and Arctic Oceans mostly.
However, it is better not to look directly at the sun – even wearing dark sunglasses – as you run the risk of permanent eye damage. So, sky gazers are advised to make a basic pinhole projector , and face away from the sun, or to wear eclipse glasses.
