solar eclipse

1 August 2008 11:42

9 minutes before the full eclipse
9 minutes for the maximum with a piece of the station in front
the special glasses were of no use but funny
We were close to a total eclipse. At 11:42 o'clock, 94% of the sun was covered. The sun was out of sight at this moment. The light was quite dim, but much more as with a total eclipse. Since 16 april the light has not been dimmed here because it is a polar area with continuous summer sun. For me, it was the first dimmed moment since my arrival 9 June.
