A partial eclipse of the sun is expected across the country Sunday afternoon between 3:30 and 5:30 pm.
Astrologers have described this eclipse as a sign of good luck. However it could be dangerous watching this eclipse with the naked eye because it may lead to blindness.
A press release issued by the International Foundation for Technological Advancement and Development says individuals who may want to view it need certified solar eclipse sunglasses.

"Know that you cannot use your naked eye or normal sunglasses or any other implements that is not certified to watch it.
"You are advised to get certified sunglasses or solar eclipse sunglasses to watch it," he said.
