Annular Solar Eclipse of June 21, 2020

How to see it safely

Never look at the Sun without certified eclipse glasses or a proper solar filter, not even for a moment, and not through binoculars, a camera or a telescope without a filter made for the purpose. Regular sunglasses are not safe. The only exception is the brief totality of a total eclipse, when the Sun is completely covered. An annular eclipse never fully covers the Sun, so protection is needed throughout.

A solar eclipse is only visible along a limited region of Earth. The check above tells you whether the Sun is up from your city at greatest eclipse, which is a necessary first condition; detailed local coverage for every city is on the way.
