During the solar eclipse of October 3 the Observatory was under a very heavy rain and the sky was completely cloudy. We report here a web page published before this event. Warning!!! Never look at the sun without eye protection!!!
All the times are given in CEST (Central European Summer Time), i.e.: the time of a common European watch. In the pictures above the zenith is up. The partial eclipse is clearly visible also without astronomical instruments. Cover your eyes with adequate protection: the cheapest solution is a welding glass n. 14, otherwise you can use Mylar or AstroSolar eyeglasses . Common sunglasses are not enough for a safe protection! The old-fashion glass smoked with a candle is absolutely unsafe! Warning!!! Never look at the sun without eye protection!!! |
