As people all over the world prepare with great excitement for the solar eclipse, which will occur this Sunday, November 3, 2013, it is necessary to alert our people to the significance of the cosmic event and prepare them on how to safely observe it. According to an article on Space entitled: “How to Safely Observe Sunday’s Solar Eclipse”: “Here is a helpful reminder for new eclipse chasers: be safe. A fraction of a second of magnified, unfiltered sunlight will sear your eye’s retina irreparably. Imagine a horrible sunburn on your eyeball. Your eye cannot grow new layers and (peel off) the (burnt) ones like your skin tissue can, so staring directly at the sun is dangerous without the protection of safety equipment used by veteran sky watchers and astronomers.” For the avoidance of doubt, the eclipse is likely to be partial in the Southern parts, from Calabar to Lagos, while in the central areas like Abuja and Kaduna; it is likely to be a full eclipse. PLS for your eyes safety, dont look directly @ d eclipse. Your eyes are important to us.(Concerned Eye Care practitioners)
