THIS morning could bring an unmissable astronomical spectacle to Herefordshire.
The expected near-total solar eclipse is expected to happen about 9.30am.
Reader Lucy Cole is gearing up for it - but we're not sure if this absolutely safe - make sure you check it out properly Lucy.

Here’s our guide to how to watch it.
WHAT IS IT?
A near-total solar eclipse – an event that will not be repeated for another decade.
It promises to be the best solar eclipse visible from the British Isles since 2003.
WHERE?
Thousands of sky-watchers in Herefordshire will be finding a spot to view it.
To celebrate the rare event, MadleyEnvironmental Centre (MESC) is holding a day of astronomy activities on the day of the eclipse – which will be a launch to future astronomy events and workshops at the centre.
It is being supported by the Herefordshire Astronomical Society and stargazerslounge.com which is also having its annual star party in the county on the same weekend.
Events will start with a solar viewing from 8am and those with equipment to set up can enter from 7.30am.
Solar glasses will be provided to view the sun safely, and astronomers will be on hand to show views of the sun through different light frequency telescopes.
The event will be free and open to all, including groups from six local schools from the Golden Valley area.
HOW DO I VIEW IT SAFELY?
People should be aware of the real danger of permanent damage to vision posed by gazing at the sun.
DO NOT look directly at the eclipse.
The best option would be to buy a pair of eclipse glasses online which filter out 99.9 per cent of light and are completely safe to use (but you're a bit late for that now).
Other ways to see the eclipse safely include projecting an image from a telescope or binoculars on to a piece of white card, using a mirror to cast the image on to a wall, or making a pin-hole viewer from pieces of card or a cereal box that acts like a lens.
A spokeswoman for the Royal College of Opthalmologists said: “There is no safe system to directly view an eclipse. Particular care should be taken with children. Children should not be allowed to look directly at the sun.”
WHAT ABOUT PHOTOS?
The College of Optometrists advises against taking photos. It says the danger comes should people look directly at the sun as they position themselves for selfies or other shots.
