The eclipse is well underway in Garching. The sky is heavily clouded, but we have seen the eclipsed Sun through several holes, as the Moon gradually moves in front. The better chances are now further east, nearer the Austrian border. The weather forecast is unfortunately rather desolate for the Munich region - indeed for most of Southern Germany and Austria. There is almost complete agreement among the various sources of meteorological forecasts that a front with bad weather will be passing across Central Europe tomorrow, the day of the eclipse.
All observers can join the simple, but interesting projects.
The eclipse will be transmitted by most national TV and radio stations. More information is available at the Conference website . Map from F. Espenak's eclipse website. The altitude of the Sun above the horizon will be about 56 o . See also a large-scale map of Bavaria with the zone of totality .
