Everyone in Brunei will have the opportunity to observe a partial solar eclipse tomorrow morning.
The spectacular event should be observed with precautions. Eclipse watcher are advised to avoid looking directly at the sun with naked eyes, through telescopes or binoculars, as this may cause damage to the eyesight. Proper solar filters or eclipse glasses must be used for observation.
A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Sun and the Earth. It is an uncommon celestial event as the three bodies are rarely perfectly aligned. The next partial solar eclipse that will be visible in this country is set to occur on January 15, 2010.
