Look, this isn’t going to be the most riveting live feed you ever watch, but it’s all kinds of cloudy here in Cape Town so you can’t just look out the window.

In days of old we used to gather on the field as schoolkids and look through some glasses that apparently protected our retinas, but with modern technology we can now stare at the computer screen while we pretend to work.

Info on the partial solar eclipse from Traveller24:

…unlike a total eclipse, when the sun is blacked out, sometimes the moon is too far from Earth, and its apparent osteoporosis treatment europe diameter too small, for complete coverage.

“At the eclipse’s peak, all that will be visible is a ring of light encircling the black disk that is the moon,” said astronomer Pascal Descamps of the Paris Observatory, in the French Indian Ocean island of Reunion…

Daylight should be slightly dimmed, as on a very cloudy day.

South Africans will be able to witness the eclipse, but not the entire ‘ring of fire’ effect…

At the eclipse’s peak, between 10:08 and 10:11 GMT (12:08 and 12:11 CAT) the Moon will cover about 94% of the sun.

Hey, beats working.
