A partial solar eclipse occurs when the moon comes between the Earth and the Sun.
Because the moon and Sun are not perfectly aligned, the result is a partial eclipse of the Sun's light.
NASA provides explicit instructions on how to view an eclipse of any kind.
When watching a partial solar eclipse, you must wear solar viewing or eclipse glasses throughout the entire eclipse if you want to face the Sun.
, NASA Statement, via NASA.gov.
Solar viewing or eclipses glasses are NOT regular sunglasses; regular sunglasses are not safe for viewing the Sun, NASA Statement, via NASA.gov.
If you don’t have solar viewing or eclipse glasses, you can use an alternate indirect method, such as a pinhole projector.
, NASA Statement, via NASA.gov.
Pinhole projectors shouldn’t be used to look directly at the Sun, but instead to project sunlight onto a surface, NASA Statement, via NASA.gov.
The statement about the partial solar eclipse on the NASA website also includes downloadable instructions on how to create a pinhole projector
NASA has unveiled striking images capturing the extensive flooding in the UAE following the recent torrential rainfall. Describing it as a "slow-moving storm," NASA highlighted the unprecedented deluge that inundated the Gulf states, surpassing a year's worth of rainfall in some regions. According to the UAE's meteorological department, the country received a staggering 6.04 billion cubic metres of rain last week, nearly equivalent to its annual precipitation of 6.7 billion cubic metres. This remarkable event underscores the magnitude of the weather phenomenon that swept across the region.

According to protest organisers, hundreds of thousands of Argentines flooded the streets to express their outrage over cuts to higher public education under the newly elected President Javier Milei. Students, professors, parents, and alumni from the country's 57 state-run universities rallied together on Tuesday, uniting in defence of free public university education amidst the economic turmoil plaguing South America. Joined by labour unions, opposition parties, and private universities, the demonstrations spread from Buenos Aires to major cities like Cordoba, marking one of the largest protests against the austerity measures implemented since Milei assumed office in December. While police estimated around 100,000 participants in the capital alone, organisers claimed the number soared closer to half-a-million, effectively paralysing the city centre for hours.
