Wow, what a fascinating Astronomy Day! The sky was mostly clear in both Bonn and Effelsberg, and our visitors were able to experience the partial solar eclipse (SoFi) on March 29 with their own eyes!
A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun. This only happens during a new moon and when the Moon is aligned with the Sun and Earth. There are three types of solar eclipses:
Total SoFi - when the Sun is completely covered. A total solar eclipse lasts a maximum of 7 minutes and 32 seconds; Partial SoFi - when only a part of the Sun is covered; Annular SoFi - when the Moon is too far away and therefore too small to completely cover the Sun.
Since the Moon is 400 times smaller than the Sun and exactly 400 times closer to the Earth, it can completely cover the Sun when viewed from Earth. However, a solar eclipse cannot be observed equally from all places on Earth, but only within a narrow geographic area. But wherever you are, remember: Never look directly at the Sun without proper eye protection! For example, SoFi glasses or a welding helmet with the appropriate protection level are suitable, but not regular sunglasses or binoculars.
In addition to the partially obscured Sun, several sunspots were also visible. The number of sunspots depends on the current phase of the Sun's 11-year activity cycle, which is why they are not always visible.
#SaveTheDate:
The next partial solar eclipse in Germany: August 12, 2026 – over 80% coverage; The next total solar eclipse visible from Germany: in 2081.

My mother told me she did not have these black clouds on Saturday with the #solareclipse.
To be clear, this is a thick woolly fluffy happy white cloud 
, which turns dark with backlight and the camera settings to reduce the massive amount of light.
If you would have looked at the sun, which I did not 
, it would have been a blinding light.

Following yesterday's important #SolarEclipse in Aries 
that activates courage and action,
#Neptune goes into #Aries today, 
for the first time since *1875*. 
Background energies in the collective are being activated. 
Watch now to learn why this is a time of emerging:
beliefs 
realities 
paradigms 
...and why action and courage...
shape the future.

Die Voraussetzungen waren sicher nicht ideal: Ordentlich Wind und mehrere sich gegeneinander verschiebende Wolkendecken.
The conditions were certainly not ideal: strong winds and several cloud covers shifting against each other.
Got up early yesterday to see the partial solar eclipse from Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. It was only visible for about 15 minutes through a narrow cloud window. Well worth it! #photography #partialeclipse #solareclipse #solareclipse2025 #partialeclipse2025 #landscape #seascape #EastCoastKin
Some more images I took of yesterday's partial #solareclipse with my Lunt 60mm solar telescope. There are some closeups where you can kind of see mountains at the edge of the moon? #eclipse #sun #moon

A shot of the partial #solareclipse #20250329. Taken with the little #seestars50. A Pretty cool that we had times with and without clouds. #astrophotography

Here are a couple of my partial solar eclipse shots, taken with a fair amount of cloud cover. I’m pretty happy with the results, considering that I only used a relatively cheap Baader solar filter on my telescope and the weather conditions. The equipment I used is in the alt text.

just looked at my homebrew weather station
you can see the effect the partial eclipse had

Partial solar eclipse today through a very convenient and beautiful natural cloud filter. Who would have thought that it's better to have a cloudy day for such an occasion #eclipse #solareclipse #iridiscentclouds
Wer hat die partielle Sonnenfinsternis heute Mittag mitbekommen?
Ich war mit der Astro-Gruppe im Görlitzer Park und wir haben interessierten Leuten das Himmelsevent durch diverse Teleskope gezeigt.
Die Wolkenlücke gegen Mittag kam genau zum richtigen Zeitpunkt.
