On 29 March 2025 the Moon slides in front of the sun. A partial Solar Eclipse is coming and you can witness it live.
In large parts of Europe – depending on your location – you will experience a coverage of the Solar disk (in Central Europe) of up to 25%.
Even though the Moon covers only a small part of the Sun, the event is fascinating. Don’t miss it!
When and where can you observe the eclipse?
The celestial show begins at 11:20 CET and reaches its maximum at 12:10 CET. The final phase ends at 13:00 CET. The further North you are located, the more spectacular this event will be: While up to 25% of the Sun will be covered in Sylt, in Hamburg you can observe 20% and in Munich about 10% of the obscuration.
A Solar eclipse can only occur during a New Moon, when the Sun and Moon are near their nodes.
IMPORTANT: A Solar eclipse should NEVER be observed without proper protection.

Have you already admired the planets in the sky? If not, then it’s about time! Right now there’s a rare cosmic spectacle to behold: Six planets of our solar system are almost aligned in a straight line. Such a constellation is not an everyday occurrence – and the next comparable one won’t happen until 2040. So, grab your telescopes!
The best time for observation is between 6:30 PM and 9:00 PM (CET).
Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn shine brightly enough to be seen with the naked eye. However, for Uranus and Neptune, you’ll need a telescope or at least a good pair of binoculars.
The brightest of them all, easy to find in the Southwest. It remains visible until mid-March.
After dusk our largest planet appears prominently in the Southern sky and is the brightest object after Venus and the Moon.
Recognizable as a distinct red point in the Southeast, Mars becomes increasingly brighter throughout the month, reaching a magnitude of zero by March 11. At that point it will be as bright as the brightest stars.
Currently still visible, but it is sinking lower towards the Western horizon. As the days pass it dissipates more into the twilight glow. Our “Lord of the Rings” is best to be observed until the end of February.
Uranus (between Taurus and Aries) remains visible until mid of April, while Neptune (between Venus and Saturn) disappears by mid-February.
Telescopes, binoculars or a star field viewer , as well as other suitable accessories for your observations, are of course available at our shop. Feel free to browse our products! Thanks to our fast shipping, in-stock items will arrive at your home within just a few days.
