Protect your eyes

Looking at the Sun without protection damages the eye, eclipsed or not. Use eclipse glasses or a solar filter made for the purpose (ISO 12312-2) whenever any part of the Sun is showing; sunglasses are not enough. In this eclipse some of the Sun is showing from start to end, everywhere.
