In exactly four weeks time Friday 20 March there will be a total eclipse of the Sun visible from East Dulwich.

The eclipse will begin at 8.30am and reach its maximum by 9.30am and finish around 10.40am.

What will we see – 95% coverage of the Sun by the Moon. Pretty spectacular.

WARNING you can not look at this astronomic event without proper CE approved eclipse glasses. Do be very careful especially with children who probably don’t fully appreciate the risks of losing their eye sight if they look directly even at a partially eclipsed Sun.

So do organise eclipse glasses ASAP to take advantage of this amazing event.

The next eclipse in London after this will be 21 August 2017 but only a very very partial one in comparison. So this is quite possible a chance in a life time for such an event.

I’ve ordered family pack of glasses from Harrison Telescopes – I have no connection with them other than a customer but do get some glasses.
