Overview

• Totality is forecast from about 19:30 to 20:53 local time, with the moon leaving Earth’s umbra near 21:57.
• The moon rises during totality in Germany, with illustrative times of Berlin 19:37, München 19:39, Hamburg 19:52 and Köln 20:01.
• Observers should secure a clear view to the eastern horizon and may need 30 minutes or more after moonrise to discern the dark red disk, according to Planetarium Hamburg’s Dr. Björn Voss.
• The eclipse will be visible across large parts of Asia, Europe and Africa, and the darkened sky may reveal fainter stars along with Saturn in the evening.
• Several observatories in Lower Saxony and Bremen plan public viewing sessions, including sites in Melle, Hannover, Langwedel, Hildesheim and Bremen with free entry, weather permitting.
