Watch out for the Solar Eclipse!

Don't forget to look out for the partial solar eclipse on Friday 20th March at around 09:30 am.  Visit http://www.space.com/28813-total-solar-eclipse-north-atlantic-march20.html for more information.  Always remember that partial eclipses like this one must be viewed with extreme caution. The safest way to view it is to use a pinhole or small mirror to project the image of the eclipsed sun safely on a wall or ceiling. Never look directly at the sun unless you have a proper solar filter. Do not use ordinary sunglasses, photographic film, CDs or mylar packaging, as none of these filter out the infrared rays that cause eye damage.
