Witnessing the Lunar Eclipse in the Southwestern Regions - Enjoying the Moon's Eclipse in the Southwestern Regions
On Sunday, September 7th, the skies above Baden-Württemberg and the region near Konstanz will be graced by a lunar eclipse. Here's a roundup of events and activities for sky-watchers and music enthusiasts alike.
For those interested in a more structured experience, the Bodensee Planetarium in Kreuzlingen offers a public evening from 19:00 onwards. The Stuttgart Planetarium, too, has a performance scheduled for Sunday, although it's important to note that this event is not directly related to the lunar eclipse observation. Instead, the Stuttgart Planetarium will play Pink Floyd's "The Dark Side of the Moon" album in its entirety from 18:00 onwards, accompanied by a 360-degree projection, star projector, and laser show. Tickets for this unique experience can be pre-ordered online for 9.00 euros.
Admission to the Stuttgart Observatory is free, and it will open on Sunday from 19:00 hours to allow observation of the lunar eclipse if weather conditions are favorable. The observatory in Stuttgart will also be open from 20:00 onwards on clear nights. Registration is required by Friday afternoon to use the equipment for observation at the Zollern-Alb Observatory.
The Astronomical Association Karlsruhe (AVKa) plans to open the Karlsruhe Observatory if the weather permits observations. The AVKa will announce whether the observatory will be open on its website from 18:00 on Sunday. Similarly, the AVKa will announce whether the Aalen Observatory in Ostalb district will be open for lunar eclipse observation from 20:00 to 22:00.
The Breisgau stargazers plan to meet at the Rotlache on the Schauinsland from 19:45 onwards on clear nights for the lunar eclipse. It's worth noting that the performances and observation events are not affected by the weather change, but the observatories may offer alternative programs if the weather doesn't cooperate.
The total lunar eclipse will last until just before 21:00. During this period, the full moon will emerge from the Earth's umbra before leaving it entirely about an hour later. This spectacle promises to be a memorable event for all who take the time to gaze upon it.
Whether you're a seasoned stargazer or a casual observer, these events offer a fantastic opportunity to learn, socialise, and witness the beauty of the cosmos. So, mark your calendars for Sunday, September 7th, and prepare for a night under the stars!
