Stargazers will be able to see around a third of the sun covered by the moon - as long as the skies are clear. Aldi has even released a limited edition gin to enjoy while you're gazing at the phenomenon. Even though the solar flare will be covered, it's important to remember that staring directly at the sun can cause serious damage - so precautions are needed. Read on to find out everything you need to know. How to safely view the partial solar eclipse  The safest way to view the partial solar eclipse is though a pinhole camera, which is easy to make, and allows you to see the sun's image reflected onto a piece of paper. All you need is card and aluminium foil - find Sky and Telescope magazine's tutorial here. If you don't fancy getting crafty, high-quality shaded glasses (like those used by welders) can allow you to look at the sun directly. Never do this with glasses less than shade level 13 or 14, however, as this can lead to temporary or even permanent blindness. Eclipse glasses - especially made for the occasion - are available online, too. They will allow you to gaze skywards safely for this partial eclipse, and all those to come. Looking at the event through binoculars, a telescope, or high definition camera lens can cause serious damage, so make sure to avoid those, too.
