The same roundup also covers safe viewing methods for an August 12 solar eclipse across Europe, noting ordinary sunglasses block only 80-90% of visible light versus the 99.999% reduction needed for safe direct viewing, and a separate immigration story on how Israeli citizens enter Bali amid scrutiny from pro-Palestine activists.
