How to watch safely – 1 June 2030

A covered Sun is still sharp
In Sweden a large part of the Sun is hidden in the morning, but the rest shines at full strength. The eye feels no pain when the retina is damaged.
The ring in Greece and Turkey
If you travel to the ring zone you need protection the whole time – the ring is too bright to view without a filter.
Test your glasses in advance
Through real eclipse glasses you see nothing except the Sun. If you can see lamps or your surroundings, they are not safe.
Watch it in the leaves
Under a tree you'll see hundreds of tiny crescents or rings on the ground. A safe way for the whole family.

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