Solar eclipse over Germany: how it was
Residents of Central Europe on Tuesday were able to observe a solar eclipse. In Germany, he was eagerly awaited.
On Tuesday, October 25, the dark disk of the Moon at about 11 o'clock CET began to "creep" on the Sun. A partial solar eclipse could be observed in many European countries. In Germany, they were looking forward to such a rare natural phenomenon (in the title picture - the city of Schwerin in the north of Germany). The last time a partial solar eclipse could be observed in the countries of Central Europe in June last year. The next time - only in 2025, and a total solar eclipse - already in 2081!
The sun was covered by 20 - 30 percent. However, even a partial solar eclipse, which lasted about two hours, is dangerous to observe without special glasses. Looking at the Sun without them or other special devices is unhealthy, warns the Federal Office for Radiation Protection (BfS). You can get retinal burns and even go blind.
