The celestial event, the first solar eclipse of the year will only be fully visible from Antarctica, giving penguins an unusual front-row seat.

Astronomer Joe Llama of Lowell Observatory said the penguins “are going to have a great show.” If skies are clear, parts of southern Chile and Argentina, along with areas of southeastern Africa including Madagascar, Lesotho and South Africa, will witness a partial eclipse.

According to the ABC News, Solar eclipses occur when the sun, moon and Earth align, allowing the moon to cast a shadow on Earth. During an annular eclipse, the moon is farther from Earth in its orbit and doesn’t completely block the sun, leaving a bright ring visible around its edges.

Experts caution that viewing the eclipse without proper eye protection is dangerous. Eclipse glasses are required to safely observe the event, as regular sunglasses do not provide sufficient protection.
