Ready for tomorrow's eclipse? 🌒
The last time mainland Europe experienced a major total solar eclipse was on August 11, 1999.
A magical week for the Italian sky: tomorrow evening (August 12th), the partial solar eclipse at sunset will merge, just a few hours later, with the peak of the San Lorenzo shooting stars (Perseids). ☄️✨
A double show perfect for disconnecting for a moment and looking up.
Eyes on the sunset (from around 7:30 PM) 🌒🌅 for the partial solar eclipse in Italy! 🇮🇹
The sun will be up to 90%+ covered in the Northwest, but watch out: since it will be very low on the horizon, hills and mountains might hide it before the peak (expected around 8:10 PM - 8:30 PM depending on where you are).
⚠️ Only use ISO-certified eclipse glasses, don't improvise with film negatives or regular sunglasses!
