Today’s target run: 1 hour 12 minutes
Today’s completed run: 1 hour 12 minutes
Some parts of the world will get a much more dramatic solar eclipse than much of Europe. As I am posting this note, there is almost a total eclipse of the sun in parts of Africa and the Middle East. Fascinating! For those of you in the US, sorry, you lose out (besides, many of you are asleep right now anyway).
Still, in Germany, our partial eclipse will be most extensive between 1 and 2 PM today German time. In percentage terms, this equates to about 40-50% of a total eclipse, depending on the time of day.
Not being much of a science aficionado, what exactly does that mean? Answer: it looks like a really cloudy, overcast day. Hmmm….

ok - sun is out here in sunny Switzerland and I can tell you what happens if you check out for a 40-50% eclipse - it means that the other 50-60% are still shining brightly... and that apart from temporary blindness it just looks like - ehhmmmm - the sun.
No I know, that isn't very revealing either - I guess let's then simply trust the scientists...
and for the kids out there - do not repeat this without the appropriate equipment!
LOL
