Wenn Sonne und Mond sich treffen: Kurzprogramme zur partiellen Sonnenfinsternis 2025

In the organizer's words:

Live

Eclipses have fascinated people for thousands of years. On March 29, we can experience this rare natural spectacle here in Berlin as a partial solar eclipse and watch live as the moon moves in front of the glowing disk of the sun.

The partial solar eclipse begins on March 29 at 11:32 a.m. when the edge of the moon and sun touch and reaches its peak at 12:20 p.m. with a maximum coverage of 15.3%. The impressive celestial spectacle is over again at 13:08.

Using the latest planetarium technology, we bring even the most distant cosmic phenomena up close. In addition to the live observation, learn fascinating facts about solar eclipses in the planetarium hall of the Zeiss Large Planetarium and in the small planetarium of the Archenhold Observatory: In short programs lasting around 30 minutes, we travel 360° together into space and explain why the much smaller moon can cover our large solar disk at all - and why this sometimes happens completely, sometimes only partially. Where on Earth can this be seen? What is the difference between a lunar and a solar eclipse and what needs to be taken into account when observing them? We will answer these and other exciting questions about the solar eclipse together with our visitors.
