So we’ve got something a little different to look forward to today🌞🌙
If the Highland weather is kind to us, we’ll see a partial solar eclipse this evening. From Inverness it starts at around 6:05pm, reaches its maximum at 7:03pm (with around 90% of the Sun covered), and is all over by just before 8:00pm.
A little Gadget Refuge tip if you’re planning to grab a photo… 📱
Try not to leave your phone pointed directly at the Sun for long periods. The concentrated sunlight can overheat or damage the camera sensor. If you’ve got certified eclipse glasses, holding them over the camera lens can help you take a much safer picture.
And of course, don’t forget to protect your own eyes too – only look at the eclipse using proper eclipse glasses.
Now all we need is for our weather to do its bit! 🤞
