The Perth Eclipse: From Sunburnt to Sun-Shy? Not Quite!
Hey Perthlings! Strap yourselves in, because there's a celestial show coming to town – a solar eclipse! But before you start prepping your tinfoil hats (terrible idea for sun safety!), let's break down what you'll actually see.

| How Much Of The Eclipse Will Perth See |
The Big Reveal: A Partial Snoozefest (or Not?)
Here's the deal: Perth won't be getting the full VIP treatment for this eclipse. It'll be a partial eclipse, which means the moon will cover only a portion of the sun. Think of it like a cosmic game of peek-a-boo, but with a giant rock and a giant ball of fire (way cooler, right?).
So, how much sun will be hiding? Estimates say Perth will see around 70% of the sun eclipsed. That's a pretty good chunk, but not quite enough to turn midday into twilight (although that would be a welcome break from the Perth heat!).
But wait, there's more! While Perth might miss out on totality, the good news is this eclipse is a total mood (pun intended). The sky might get a bit dimmer, and the temperature could even dip slightly – a welcome change for those who find Perth's sunshine a bit too enthusiastic.
QuickTip: Reflect before moving to the next part.
Don't Be a Blind Bat: Eclipse Safety Essentials
Looking at a solar eclipse directly is a big no-no. It can seriously damage your eyes. Here's how to enjoy the show safely:
- ** ??????????? ??????????? ???? (spetsialnye zatemnyayushchie ochki - special eclipse glasses) are your best bet.** Look for ones certified to ISO 12312-2 standard. Don't try using regular sunglasses or homemade filters – they won't protect your peepers.
- Cardboard box pinhole camera? This is a classic (and safe!) way to project the eclipse onto a surface. Get creative and make a mini eclipse show!
- Catch a live stream! Many organizations will be broadcasting the eclipse online. This way, you can enjoy the full glory of the event without risking your eyesight.
Remember: Safety first, space cowboys!
