SOLAR ECLIPSE - MARCH 2016
A solar eclipse will take place during the
morning of Wednesday the 9th of March 2016 and will
be
viewable across Indonesia, parts of Australia and areas of the Pacific
Ocean.
In most parts Indonesia the eclipse will be visible in the early hours of the morning as the moon's shadow races across the country from the West to East Coast. Observers will need to wake early as the Total Eclipse will begin at 7:20 AM and end at 9:31 AM local time!
Eclipse glasses must be used at all times. At no time can you view this type of solar eclipse without appropriate eye protection as the sun will not be totally obscured.

TYPES OF SOLAR ECLIPSES
TOTAL
The Sun's intense bright light is fully obscured by the dark silhouette of the Moon to reveal the Sun's much fainter but spectacular outer atmosphere known as the corona.
PARTIAL
The Sun and Moon are not exactly aligned and the Moon only partially obscures the Sun's light. This phenomenon can also be observed outside the track of a Total or an Annular eclipse.
ANNULAR
The Sun and Moon are in line, but the apparent size of the Moon is smaller than the Sun, which results in a very bright ring surrounding the dark disk of the Moon.
HYBRID
This rather rare type of eclipse shifts between a Total and an Annular eclipse along different sections of the eclipse’s path as it travels across the Earth.
VIEWING SAFETY
WARNING: Never look directly at the Sun without proper eye protection. Never look at the Sun through any optical devices such as telescopes, binoculars or cameras without appropriate solar filters. Failure to use suitable protection can result in permanent eye damage.
Sunlight is intensely powerful, even with 99% of the Sun's surface obscured by the Moon; the remaining 1% of sunlight contains a considerable amount of energy that can cause serious harm to your eyes.
The protection of your vision is paramount, thus our CE Certified eclipse glasses are designed to meet exacting transmission requirements of European and Australia / New Zealand Standards for eclipse eye protection to ensure your utmost safety.
