Can be seen from all India
Hello and Namaste. Diwali, the festival of light is coming soon. To accompany the festival of light, a rare show of light and shadow will also be there. Moon will partially obstruct sunlight on the evening of 25th October and so we will have a chance to observe a partial solar eclipse. I personally remember watching a wonderful solar eclipse as a kid in 1995. So for kids, this will be a wonderful opportunity to experience something new and rare.
How to watch?
Observing sun directly through the naked eyes is harmful to the eyes. So we cannot watch it by directly looking at the Sun. But we can surely enjoy this show. The best way to watch this eclipse is through solar goggles. Still there are some days, so you can purchase them. They are also available online. One more simple and safe option is to use a pinhole camera projector- a simple arrangement of a cardboard box having one small pinhole and one window. You can check about this on youtube too. Kids can enjoy making such a pinhole camera. Just google, find some youtube videos and let your kids do it. Let’s give them a chance to do something on their own and experience themselves!
