Happy outcome of the #SolarEclipse 2026 dress rehearsal at the #planetarium in #Bochum, Germany, today: the whole event from beginning 14° high through maximum eclipse in 6° elevation down to 3° can be folllowed without obstruction from a specific - and covenient - zone on the premises. This picture was taken at the very 'moment' of maximum eclipse with the Sun in my back: whereever it's shining here, it could be seen. Not ideal for telescopes or big tripods, but many people with eclipse glasses and handheld cameras could be served. Only the weather on 12 August has to be as gorgeous as today ...

The total #SolarEclipse on 12 August will be a low affair both for totality watchers in Spain (let alone Mallorca) and for maximum partiality watchers in Central Europe, so making sure you'll have a free horizon for solar elevations below 10° in the right azimuth is essential. And now is the time to test the location you have in mind as on the evening of 12 August the declination of the Sun will be +14°47' while on April 29 and 30 it will be +14°38' and +14°56', respectively, i.e. 9 arc minutes or 1/3 solar diameter lower or higher. So if you see the low Sun both today and tomorrow (and don't expect any more vegetation or buildings to materialize in the next 3 1/2 months) you can be sure that you can also see the totally or maximally eclipsed Sun on 12 August. (This dress rehearsal idea has already been promoted - e.g. in https://www.rac1.cat/meteo/20260428/341109/dimecres-pots-anticipar-gran-eclipsi-agost-lloc-veura-dia.html - in Spain.)
Aquest dimecres et pots anticipar al gran eclipsi de l'agost i saber si des del lloc on ets es veurà el sol aquell dia

Aquest estiu a casa nostra es produirà un dels fenòmens astronòmics més espectaculars que es poden viure a la Terra: un eclipsi total de Sol. No es veurà de la mateixa manera a tot arreu i qui s'emporta la millor part són les comarques de Tarragona i les del sud de Lleida.

Total #solarEclipse led to seismic quiet for cities within its path
A #seismic hush fell over U.S. and Canadian #cities that were in the “path of totality” during the 8 April 2024 total solar #eclipse, according to new research presented at the 2026 SSA Annual Meeting.

ie #humans stopped rattling the #Earth for a minute, but only in the totality zone. and only in cities, not in rural areas.
