He biggest astronomical event cataloged by astronomers is a total annular eclipse What happens when our Sun is covered or completely eclipsed by the Moon, from our Earthly point of view. This event will take place next Wednesday, October 2 and can be seen 100% only on some points in Argentina and Chile.
The special day for which we have been preparing for a long time has arrived. For a week now, RIVER NEGRO is traveling the mythical National Route No. 40 looking for a privileged place so that you, who accompany us every day on all our platforms, can experience it with us.
A solar eclipse moves us. Seeing how the Moon covers the Sun, even for a few minutes, mobilizes us. But also, in that momentary darkness, It gives us the opportunity to see the landscapes we inhabit, the immensity of our land, in a new light.
Check how you will be able to see it in your city:

Denis Martínez is an astrophotographer and director of Astroturismo Las Grutas. Be part of the coverage team BLACK RIVER in Santa Cruz. Through our live broadcasts from the place he commented: “in the Alto Valle area it can be observed in approximately 58% of its entirety.”
It is important to take into account protective measures for safe observation. Observing any part of the bright Sun through the lens of a camerabinoculars or a telescope without using a special solar filter for that purpose that is securely attached to the front of the optical device, will instantly cause serious eye injury.
When viewing the partial phases of a solar eclipse directly with your eyes, which occurs before and after totality, you should always look through safe solar viewing glasses (“eclipse glasses”) or a viewer. safe handheld solar. Eclipse glasses are NOT ordinary sunglasses: No matter how dark they are, ordinary sunglasses are not safe for viewing the Sun. Safe solar viewers are thousands of times darker and must comply with the international standard ISO 12312 -2.
Always inspect your eclipse glasses or handheld viewer before using it; If it is broken, scratched, or otherwise damaged, you should discard the device. Always supervise children using solar visors.
Do not look at the Sun through a camera lens, telescope, binoculars, or any other optical device while using your eclipse glasses or a handheld solar viewer: the concentrated solar rays will pass through and burn the filter and enter your eyes, causing serious injuries.
