How to watch safely – 25 November 2030

Summer sun in the southern hemisphere
November is summer in southern Africa and Australia. The Sun is strong – wear glasses marked ISO 12312-2 before and after totality.
Know when totality starts
Only remove your glasses once the last bead of light disappears. Find out the exact time for your location.
Desert trips need preparation
Namibia and Botswana are hot and dry. Plan for water, shade and dust protection for your camera.
From Sweden: follow the streams
The eclipse is not visible from Sweden. Live images from observatories are the safe way to follow it from home.

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