Solar Eclipse and Perseids at August 12, 2026
Partial solar eclipse on August 12 in Osnabrück – a rare event. We were thrilled by the very large number of visitors during our magic hours to observe the eclipse and the Perseids. Together with the approx. 250 interested and good-humoured visitors, we had a great evening until late into the night.
