Frequently asked questions
Can I look at the annular eclipse without glasses?
No, never. Even during the ring of fire about 14 % of the Sun stays visible, enough to damage your eyes. Use glasses certified to ISO 12312-2 or a pinhole projector. Ordinary sunglasses do not protect you.
What time is the eclipse?
Around midday in South America. In Mar del Plata it starts at 10:45 and the ring lasts from 12:24 to 12:32 (ART); in Buenos Aires the maximum is at 12:32, in Maldonado the ring is at 12:36 (UYT) and in São Paulo the maximum is at 13:22 (BRT). In Ghana the ring arrives at 17:50 (GMT), just before sunset.
