• It is recommended that sky watchers avoid staring straight at the Sun. To observe this celestial event directly, use safety-approved, protective solar eclipse viewing glasses.
• The phenomenon should not be viewed using ordinary eyewear.
• Do not look at the Sun's reflection in the water.
• Create a pinhole camera or a box projector to see the solar eclipse. To use this technique, cut a pinhole in a card sheet and hold it under the Sun, with a white piece of paper underneath. This will make a picture of the Sun appear on the paper.
• You can also project the picture of the Sun directly on a wall using the pinhole imaging technique. You can achieve this by taping a pinhole card sheet to a mirror and reflecting the Sun's image on a distant wall.
• Use a safety-approved, protective sun filter on your lens to photograph an eclipse with binoculars, a telescope, or a camera.

When the Moon reaches its farthest point from the Earth, known as apogee, its relative size is insufficient to totally hide the Sun, allowing the outer rims to be seen. In the sky, it creates a 'Ring of Fire.'

Depending on the relative positions of the three bodies, we see either a solar eclipse or a lunar eclipse when the Sun, Earth, and Moon align in a straight line.
When the Moon passes between Earth and the Sun, it throws a shadow on the Earth and prevents the Sun's light from reaching the globe directly.

Solar eclipses can be total, partial, or annular, depending on the alignment and relative distance of the three celestial bodies. An annular solar eclipse will occur today, as previously stated.
