OCR Text: Gemini Flash What to DO NOT try (Unsafe Workarounds)  Never use Welding Masks under Shade 14: Standard DIY welding goggles (Shade 10 or 12) are not dark enough and will damage your eyes.  Never use smoked glass, dark sunglasses, camera ND filters, or film negatives. None of these block the invisible UV and infrared radiation that causes eye burns. Safe 2-Minute Homemade Alternative (No Glasses Needed!) If you can't get glasses in time, make a Box or Cardboard Pinhole Projector: 1. Take a piece of cardboard or paper and poke a clean hole through the middle with a pin or pen tip. 2. Turn your back to the sun. 3. Hold the cardboard up so sunlight passes through the hole onto the ground or a second white piece of paper. 4. You will see a crisp, perfectly projected image of the crescent sun growing as peak coverage approaches 100% safe for your eyes! Gemini is AI and can make mistakes, including about people.

OCR Text: 17:45 Gemini Flash have officially sold out. Reddit However, if you want to try one last-ditch local call or find a safe workaround, here is the breakdown: 1. The Only Local Specialist Nearby o Rother Valley Optics (Kiveton Park / Wales): Located right on your doorstep near Rother Valley! They are a specialist astronomy shop. Because it's a niche shop off the main high street, they are often the last place to hold stock. It is worth ringing them or swinging by immediately if you are already heading toward Rother Valley Country Park. Reddit +3 2. Check the Crowd at Viewing Spots o If you go down to Rother Valley Country Park or Waverley Park, many fellow skywatchers and local amateur astronomers will be out with multipacks of ISO-certified glasses or eclipse viewers. o People are generally very happy to share or lend glasses for 30 seconds so you can take a safe peek!

OCR Text: 17:14 4G 51 Gemini Flash Even without eclipse glasses to look directly at the sun, a 91%+ partial eclipse creates an eerie experience on the ground, especially since it's clear and sunny outside right now. Here is what you will notice with your open eyes without looking at the sun:  Eerie "Dimmed" Light: As peak coverage approaches (around 7:10 PM), the daylight doesn't turn pitch black like total darkness, but it drops into a strange, metallic "twilight" tint. Colors look washed out and shadows become unusually sharp.  Temperature Drop: You will feel a noticeable, sudden chill in the air as peak eclipse hits and the moon blocks most of the sun's heat.  Crescent Shadows (The coolest trick): Look at the ground under leafy trees or hold up a colander/ slotted spoon. The gaps act as tiny lenses, projecting dozens of glowing crescent sun shapes onto the pavement or grass.  Bird & Animal Behavior: Birds often get confused thinking sunset has arrived early and begin singing their evening songs or roosting. So yesheading down to Rother Valley or a park in Beighton is still well worth it just to soak in the strange atmosphere, cooler breeze, and crescent shadow effects!
