Stare at the sun.
It is very, very bad for you.
Now, why am I telling you this, listener?
It peaks about ten past seven PM here in the UK.
And here to tell us more about it is senior reporter here at Nature, Lizzie Gibney.
Lizzie, how you doing today?
So what will be seen and where will it be seen, Lizzie?
I think if you're in Iceland or northern Spain you get the most eclipse, if I put it like that.
But in various places in the northern hemisphere, stuff can be seen.
And so for folk who are maybe heading out to see what's going on
How can they do it safely?
That's most important.
Right, I think that's what I'm going to do.
But there is another alternative, right?
To use a colander.
Some people might call it a strainer, basically a common kitchen implement.
So indirect is the way forward if you haven't bought the necessary gear ahead of time.
Do not look directly at the sun.
The birds go really quiet, stuff like that.
So right, aside from it being quite a peculiar event in terms of what may be seen, scientists are of course very interested in these things.
