02 · TIMING

03 · DIRECTION

Where do I look?

At maximum the Sun is only 13° above the horizon to the south-west, so you will want an open view in that direction.

The Sun's height and bearing at maximum, from Toulouse. The horizon is at 0°.

THE EXPERIENCE

What it will actually be like

Only 13.6% of the Sun is covered, so nothing about the daylight in Toulouse will change. Through a safe solar filter the Moon shows as a shallow notch on one edge of the disc.

SAFETY

Looking at it without hurting yourself

A certified solar filter stays on for the whole eclipse. The Sun is never completely covered here, and what remains is as dangerous to look at as an uneclipsed Sun. Sunglasses are not a filter.

Sunglasses, smoked glass, exposed film and phone screens are not filters. If you can see anything else through it, it is not dark enough.
