🌘 Look up, Harstad! Something special is happening tonight.
Today, 12 August, we're getting a partial solar eclipse — and from Harstad, it's going to be quite a show.
☀️ It starts at 18:46🌘 Maximum eclipse: 19:40☀️ It ends at 20:33
The Moon will cover a large part of the Sun, so if the clouds cooperate, we should get a pretty impressive view.
And yes, if the clouds cooperate. This is Northern Norway, after all😄 The evening forecast is mostly cloudy, but there may be some breaks in the clouds, so we're keeping our fingers crossed.
One very important thing: never look directly at the Sun without proper eclipse glasses or a certified solar filter — sunglasses are not enough.
