['Seigonie Mohammed']

Climate Change Editor[email protected]Trinidad and Tobago may miss today’s total solar eclipse, but skywatchers can still look up for an eventful August featuring shooting stars, a parade of planets and, later this month, a partial lunar eclipse visible from the Caribbean.
Mercury and Jupiter may prove more difficult as morning twilight brightens the sky.
Hours later, attention will turn to a total solar eclipse that will darken skies across parts of the Northern Hemisphere.
But before you grab those eclipse glasses and head outside in T&T, there is a catch: the solar eclipse will not be visible from the Caribbean.
People outside those areas, including those in T&T, can instead follow livestreams of the event online.
