The eclipse on August 12 can be viewed from Guillena and throughout the province. Authorities remind that looking at the Sun without protection can cause irreversible damage.
The sky over the province of Seville will darken today, August 12, with an eclipse that promises to be unforgettable. From Guillena, residents will be able to enjoy the phenomenon, but always with protected eyesight: looking directly at the Sun can cause permanent eye injuries.
The Town Hall of Guillena has issued a series of recommendations to ensure safe viewing. The main one: use certified eclipse glasses that meet the ISO 12312-2 standard, and check them before use. If they are scratched, perforated, or damaged, they are not suitable.
Normal sunglasses, no matter how dark, do not provide sufficient protection. It is also not acceptable to observe the eclipse through mobile phones, cameras, binoculars, or telescopes without properly fitted solar filters.
The council reminds that children must always be supervised by an adult during the observation. Furthermore, glasses should be put on before looking at the Sun and the gaze should be averted before removing them.
For those wishing to view it from the street, it is recommended to find a safe place, avoiding stopping on roads, verges, or areas that may obstruct traffic. The advice is to plan ahead and follow the authorities' instructions.
The eclipse can be followed in Guillena and the rest of the province, always with these safety measures. Enjoying the spectacle responsibly is key to ensuring it does not leave a mark on your eyesight.
