We are one of the lucky countries to be in the path of the Moon's umbral shadow in the upcoming solar eclipse. We can see a total eclipse from El-Sallum. Many people are already planning their trips and are going to set up camps and other observational areas for scientists and non-scientists. I personally want to go and watch the bright disc.

You can find more information regarding the 29th of March eclipse on the following links:

Please remember to wear special made protective sunglasses.

(do you have any idea where could I get those sunglasses?)
