    From 4pm a partial eclipse of the sun will take place. Haven't the foggiest what will happen but I imagine it'll get less sunnier. :facepalm:

    Should we have seen it it here? Or only in the north or south of the country or wherever? It’s a bit weird otherwise.

    According to what our local newspaper said yesterday there was going to be a partial eclipse here. Must have been a very partial one. :rolleyes:

    I’ve had darker shadows from someone walking past me in the street.

    I blame Milei.

    The BBC are reporting Buenos Aires had the ''Ring of Fire'' eclipse.

    Watch: ‘Ring of fire’ eclipse shines over South America
    The solar eclipse was visible in Chile and Argentina on 2 October.

    I did keep an eye out for it between 4 PM and 4:30 PM. It was cloudy, so I only noticed a lower luminosity. Serafina was also super tranquil and we were watching TV together.
