Happy solar eclipse day, everyone! 🌘 Today, we have the amazing opportunity to witness a celestial event that doesn’t happen every day – a solar eclipse. For those of us in Saskatchewan and Manitoba, here are the times you can catch a glimpse of this awe-inspiring phenomenon:

The partial solar eclipse will begin at around 11:34 AM Sk Time and will reach its maximum point at 12:53 AM SK Time. The eclipse will end at approximately 2:16 PM SK Time.

Now, before you head out to view the eclipse, there are a few important things to keep in mind for your safety and enjoyment. First and foremost, never look directly at the sun during the eclipse without proper eye protection. Staring at the sun, even during an eclipse, can cause serious damage to your eyes. Make sure to wear certified solar viewing glasses or use a pinhole projector to safely observe the eclipse.

Another tip is to find a clear, unobstructed view of the sky. You’ll want to be in a location where you can see the sun without any tall buildings or trees blocking your view. A wide-open space like a park or field is ideal for eclipse viewing.

So, grab your solar viewing glasses, find a good spot with a clear view of the sky, and get ready to witness the magic of the solar eclipse today. Enjoy this cosmic spectacle and remember to stay safe while taking in the beauty of the universe. Happy eclipse viewing, everyone! 🌞🌙 #solareclipse #astronomy
