A partial solar eclipse for solar energy can be seen in Austria on Saturday in Austria – provided good weather. However, the moon will only cover a small piece of sun disk.
The darkness starts in the west at 11:23 am (Breenz), in the east at 11.41 am (Vienna), the maximum coverage is reached in the west at 12.08 hours. And about ten minutes later in the east. To prevent eye damage, the event can only be observed with suitable protection.
Spectacle takes about an hour
According to the Vienna working group for astronomy (WAA) in Vienna, the Moon will cover six percent of the area of the sun disc, and will be around twelve percent in Bregenz.
In general, the partial darkness – which is nowhere to be seen in the world in a ring or completely visible – takes more than an hour.
- There are only sun finals at Neumond. At this point the moon is seen from the earth at the sun.
- On average twice a year, the earth at least partially hides the sun disk.
- To observe a solar eclipse, you should definitely protect your eyes with the right equipment. Dark glasses or solar filter film are needed that are available in astronomical specialist retailers.
- Sunglasses offer too little protection, experts also warn about the use of “home remedies” such as rescue ceilings, with soot blown glasses, CDs or the like.
