Sonne, Mond, Sternschnuppen: „Das war magisch“: Sonnenfinsternis fasziniert Millionen
Gänsehaut, Jubel und Tränen: Die Sonnenfinsternis löste beispiellose Begeisterung aus. Und anschließend durften noch jede Menge Wünsche gen Himmel geschickt werden.
The total solar eclipse left millions of people in Europe captivated. A crowd of hundreds gathered at the Ebro Observatory in Roquetes, northeast Spain, stared in silent awe at a black disc with a blazing ring above the horizon as the moon completely blocked the sun. The breathtaking celestial spectacle, a total solar eclipse in Germany, struck millions in Europe.
Applause, jubilation, tears of wonder, and even silence echoed as the eclipse unfolded. The total solar eclipse began around 7:00 PM in North Siberia, followed by an arc across Greenland, Iceland, and Spain. In Reykjavík, Iceland, dark clouds and rain accompanied the total solar eclipse. Spaniards celebrated in village squares, mountain peaks, beaches, rooftops, and hundreds of dedicated observation spots.
In Germany, where the sun was obscured by the moon by up to 90 percent, millions assembled at observation points such as the Olympic Hill in Munich's Olympiapark. The weather cooperated with only light cloud cover in some regions. Sara García, a young astronaut, described the experience as "magical" and "overwhelming," saying it was one of the most beautiful moments of her life.
