The solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Sun and the Earth, totally or partially obscuring the sunlight reaching the planet. It is against this phenomenon we have to deal March 20. In Poland, will be able to enjoy the partial eclipse of the Sun, in some regions will be obscured by nearly 80 percent. solar disk.
The only patch of land from which you will be able to see the total eclipse will Faroe Islands and Spitsbergen.
– However, weather statistics show that this time there will not be just a possible. So you should be in Poland and observe the eclipse of a fairly large phase – from 0.6 in the vicinity of the south-eastern Polish – somewhere in the Bieszczady Mountains, to 0.8 – a fairly deep eclipse – near Szczecin or Swinoujscie – Charles Wojcicki said Center Copernicus Science.
In Poland, the eclipse will begin at. 9.43. Phase reaches a maximum of about 10.52, and ends just after the hour. 12. – Last so big we could observe a partial eclipse in January 2011 – reminded Wojcicki.
Another opportunity only for 11 years
Next, such a phenomenon in Poland observers will be able to watch in August 2026 year, but the effect will not be as spectacular as it starts shortly after 19 o’clock . Should someone go if eg. to Spain, Iceland and Greenland, will be able to see them totality.
In Poland and on the total solar eclipse will have to wait 120 years to October 2135 year.
To observe solar eclipses do not need a telescope, or any professional equipment, because the phenomenon is visible to the naked eye.
The first day of spring
This year, a partial solar eclipse falls on the same day, at the beginning of astronomical spring. It will begin in the chair. 23.45 on Friday, when the Sun is in Aries point. Since the spring equinox until the beginning of astronomical autumn in September, days are longer than nights.
In Warsaw, a common observation of the solar eclipse and the celebration of the first day of spring invites Copernicus Science Centre.
A special show Gdansk is also preparing Hewelianum Centre. The facility will be waiting for everyone on Friday between the hours of 9 and 13.

The history of the solar eclipse
A solar eclipse of King Wladyslaw Jagiello surprised when one of the expeditions, also had to break an ancient battle between the Medes and Lidyjczykami. Known in the past eclipse even today help establish dates distant historical events.
total solar eclipse of June 1415 years Wladyslaw Jagiello surprise during his trip to Lithuania. “On Friday after the octave of Corpus Christi, about the third hour, on the third prayers called, the great solar eclipse is revealed that as something unexpected and unknown King Wladyslaw and all who were traveling with him first in amazement, and then in superstitious fear had put . This was great because the birds scared the sudden darkness settled upon the earth, and the stars shone like the night; The same King Władysław because of the darkness was forced to stop and not before he could move forward until the eclipse is not over “- described the event in Jan Dlugosz his chronicles. Prof.
Jaroslaw Wlodarczyk from the Institute of the History of Science Academy said that today, astronomers can calculate even distant during a solar eclipse. This can, in turn, determine the date of the distant and uncertain at the time of historical events. – If you do not know the exact date of an important historical event, but we know that the ancients have linked it with a solar eclipse, scientists calculating the date of this eclipse could date such an event. Eclipses are so very useful – said the professor.
registered eclipses the Sun involves a lot of interesting historical events. One such eclipses – observed in 585 BC – was to stop the battle waged in Asia Minor on the river between the Medes and the stink bug Lidyjczykami. According to Herodotus applications opponents had to make peace, fearing that the eclipse is visible anger of heaven.
The basic skills enable them to predict lunar and solar eclipses ancient scholars educated around 1 000 BC – This stunning omen – which is the solar eclipse and lunar – contributed to the development of astronomy. Unfortunately, the ancients were listed the upcoming eclipses too closely. To some extent, it was a lottery. And now with great difficulty determining what kind of concrete will eclipse what part of the disc will be obscured. So we need to be more advanced mathematical astronomy. This began to bring good results at the end of the Renaissance and modern times – he described Wlodarczyk.
