Rest of the country will see it as a partial eclipse covering over 80%.The public are urged to use protective eye wear to see the eclipse as even few minutes of exposure to sun's rays can damage the eyes.Interested public also can visit the website <a href="http://www.accimt.lk" target="_blank">www.accimt.lk</a>, dedicated to the eclipse for live web cast of eclipse images taken from the observation sessions conducted by the Arthur C Clarke Institute for Modern Technologies in two locations, in Jaffna and In Chilaw. 1.25 ta balapalla</blockquote>
