- Partial solar eclipse on March 29, 2025
On Saturday, March 29, 2025, a partial solar eclipse occurred, clearly visible from Osnabrück. From 11:21 a.m. to 1:05 p.m., the Sun was covered by the Moon. At its peak at 12:13 p.m., 21.08% of the Sun was obscured. For this event, we organized a “Sternstunden Special”. - Mirage in the Sky
The observation of the three quasars Q0957+561, RXJ0921+4529, and SDSS J1029+2623 is described. In these cases, multiple images are generated by galaxies or galaxy clusters in the foreground, which act as gravitational lenses. It is shown that these images can be resolved even at an urban observation site.
