How to watch safely – 12 June 2029

Morning sun straight in your eyes
The eclipse happens early in the morning with the Sun low in the sky. It is easy to look straight into it – use glasses marked ISO 12312-2.
A partial eclipse always needs protection
The Sun is never fully covered, not even in northern Sweden. Never take your glasses off while facing the Sun.
Prepare the night before
Find a spot with a clear view to the northeast and lay out your glasses, so you don't have to rush in the morning light.
See the crescent with a mirror
A small mirror can reflect the Sun's image onto a shaded wall. Look at the wall, never into the mirror.

Safety advice based on NASA's eclipse safety guide and the American Astronomical Society.
