Solar eclipse 12 August - possible to see partial eclipse in Switzerland

i ordered from amazon.de they shipped next day.

Yes. But now its too late to order.

Some enterprising young ladies were selling them at the Signy Centre shopping centre (Nyon exit off A1). Apparently they anticipated the shortage and had bought in bulk over last weeks.

You can also take the Train to Nyon and then bus 815 to the Centre.

You should have thought about it a bit sooner.

Or just wing it like Donny*:

*Don’t try this at home, kids.

Not if order today for delivery tomorrow (or even delivery on Wednesday)

There is another one next year, August 2nd, visible from the very south of Spain and northern Africa

Waiting for totality tomorrow.

Not just the solar ecilpse happening tonight.

Good night for those prepared to stay up all night to view.

There’s more on the Perseids over in the Full Moon thread…

Another way to watch the eclipse.

Totally safe as well.

Do you have clear sky in Switzerland? For us there suddenly came a cloud out of nowhere. Might not go away before the totality.

I love the paganistic idea of worshipping the sun. A couple dozen paragliders above Uetliberg during the eclipse (zoom in the pic)

Here the Sun dropped behind La Dole about 10 minutes into it. Watched the rest on the ESA YouTube.

Got myself a square of glass used in welding helmets in Obi for 6€.
Perfect.
