Summary
Millions of people will look to the sky when the sun on the 12th. With the unbridled view of the night sky as our ancestors had it, it is definitely over. Apart from solar eclipses and auroras, interest in the starry sky tends to decline, says Thimm. “Simply because it can hardly be seen in many places.” You can only find great what you experience yourself. “But many children grow up almost completely without a view of the starry sky.” One of the last places with wow-effect star skies is the Atacama Desert in northern Chile.
Furthermore, It is not surprising that an eclipse once caused fear and terror. Often the memory of a Sofi is vivid And yet, an eclipse is one of those celestial events that most captivate people—especially if it’s a total one. “This is still a dramatic experience that you remember for life,” says Guido Thimm from the Center for Astronomy at the University of Heidelberg (ZAH). Generally, unusual celestial events were given much attention - for good reason: from observing the sky, the coming weather was inferred, from the position of the sun and constellations to the season, as Walschburger explains.
