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. Inside the path, the glasses come off only while the Sun is completely covered, and go back on at the first flash of sunlight.
