A Spectacular Solar Eclipse: See the Photos
Last Wednesday (12 August), people across the region had the chance to witness a partial solar eclipse. That evening, the Moon covered 83% of the Sun’s disc, creating a spectacular celestial display. The eclipse could also be observed from our Astrobases. Here are some photos from the observation session in Radziejów.
A solar eclipse is not the only astronomical phenomenon that can be observed at the Astrobases. The centres are also inviting astronomy enthusiasts to watch the Perseid meteor shower.
