There will be a so-called partial solar eclipse next week. The new moon moves between the sun and the earth and covers a small part of the solar disk.
The natural show starts at 11:15 am. The solar disk then shows a thin indentation in the upper left, which will continue to widen over the next hour and slowly migrate downwards. The maximum is reached at 12:12 – so about 19 percent of the solar disk is covered by the moon. At 1:10 pm the specter has already passed and our day star shines again undisturbed from the midday sky.
Special visit to the Observatory
Warning: The sun should only be observed with adequate protective measures for our eyes. A pair of sunglasses is not enough! Special eclipse glasses, such as those offered by opticians and online retailers, are suitable. If you want to follow the spectacle of nature with an optical device, binoculars, telescope or even with a camera, you need special filters that are located in front of the front lens.
The visualization shows how the partial solar eclipse of Tuesday 25 October can be observed from Eschenberg.
