Vivir el eclipse en una ‘star-party’ en Guadalajara con un astrónomo local: “Alguno incluso estallará en llanto”
Los limpios cielos de la provincia, que tiene algunas de las comarcas más despobladas de Europa, han hecho de ella un semillero de vocaciones astronómicas
Jaime Zamorano, a professor of astrophysics at the Complutense University, has witnessed solar eclipses across the globe, from Venezuela to China. He describes the experience as incomparable, an "astronomical coincidence" that evokes an indescribable sensation. Now retired and residing in Villaverde del Ducado, a suburban area of Alcolea del Pinar in Guadalajara, Zamorano enjoys a rural lifestyle and keeps a few hens.
He plans to capture their reactions to the eclipse by recording the sudden twilight. As the EL PAÍS team seeks to understand how readers plan to observe the celestial event on August 12, Zamorano shares his excitement, with some even likening the experience to a "heartbreaking cry."
