If you didn't, here is everything you need to know. From what time you should be looking to the sky to how to do it safely.

What:
Today, Australia will experience its first total solar eclipse in years. Just a small fraction of the nation will experience a total eclipse — where the Sun will be completely blocked out.

 


When:

 

 

HOW:
Here's what the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Ophthalmologists (RANZCO) says:

 

- It is never safe to look at a partial eclipse, or the partial phases of a total eclipse, without approved eye protection

- Get solar viewing glasses that meet the AS ISO 12312-2 standard, but certified filters that meet the Australian Standards for welding shields and goggles with a lens category higher than 12 may also be used

- Children should always be supervised when using approved eclipse glasses

- If you wear regular distance glasses, make sure you put the eclipse glasses over the top of your normal glasses — not underneath
Regular sunglasses, Polaroid filters, dark glasses, welding glasses, X-ray film, photographic neutral density filters, red glass filters and homemade sun filters are not safe for observing the Sun
