00:01Europeans on 12th of August will be able to see a unique event, a solar eclipse.
00:06The total eclipse will be visible in Greenland, Iceland, Spain and a small area of Portugal.
00:12Other parts of Europe will experience a partial solar eclipse.
00:15Although eclipses occur quite frequently around Earth,
00:19the Moon's shadow falls on different parts of the planet each time.
00:22It happens in a specific place only every 400 years.
00:29So if you have an eclipse passing by your village or your city,
00:33it will not come back before 400 years.
00:36So it's almost a lifetime event that you want to see.
00:40But those getting ready to watch it should get special eclipse glasses to protect their vision.
00:46First, we should be very careful because watching the Sun, you should not do that, never.
00:52Except when at the point in a few minutes when there is an eclipse,
00:57where the Sun is totally blocked and then you can watch it for a few minutes only.
01:01But before and after, you should wear all these glasses.
01:05These are special glasses and with these glasses,
01:09that should have this ISO and also European Community sign.
01:14These are the ones you should buy.
01:17Simple sunglasses won't do the trick.
01:19You should not buy any glasses because the glasses need to be dark enough.
01:24Some glasses also we are negative, picture negative that people had.
01:30We don't use them anymore.
01:32And also CD.
01:33You should not use a CD to block it because they don't block enough.
01:38And then some light is passing by and this can be very dangerous for your eyes.
01:42Also a camera.
01:43You should not point the camera and look at the camera because this is also bad for your eyes.
01:48You should use to touch the camera.
01:49Really.
01:49Look at the camera and do nothing.
01:49You're the first.
01:49You have the little flash безb af Kyle.
