• At maximum, the Moon is expected to obscure roughly 80% of the Sun.
• For European audiences, the key times are 19:29 for the start, 21:41 for the peak and 23:53 for the end (MESZ).
• The Gesellschaft Deutschsprachiger Planetarien plans a live stream, with observatories providing public information online.
