Observing the partial solar eclipse

for Greifswald, approximately 7.13 pm – 8.56 pm

The observatory is open from 6.45 pm to 9.00 pm; no booking required; the dome is open; a maximum of 25 people are allowed in the dome at any one time.

After a good 1½ years, a solar eclipse can once again be observed in Germany. With an eclipse coverage of around 84% for Greifswald, the new moon will move almost completely in front of the sun before sunset. Sunset will occur before the eclipse ends.

Warning! Please only observe the Sun directly using suitable solar filters, or use an indirect method such as a solar projection! Your eyes will thank you for it.
