On March 20th, when the sky goes dark mid-morning, don't panic, it's only an eclipse.
The eclipse will be a partial eclipse rather than a total one, but you can expect to get a pretty good view according to the simulation which you can see on TimeAndDate.com. The moon will cover a large portion of the sun, making for a spectacular sight, that should hit its peak at 9.29 am on March 20th. According to the simulation, the apex of the eclipse will look something like this:
Don't look directly at it though, as you eyeballs will explode and catch fire, as far as we understand science. Anyway, that's not the only eclipse we're going to get in 2015, as there will be a lunar eclipse in September of this year too, on the 28th to be precise, so mark it down in your diary. There will also be a total eclipse of our hearts, every now and then.
