      Germany: Time-lapse captures eclipse shadow falling over Berlin cityscape

      Germany, Berlin
      Science and Tech
      March 20, 2015 at 21:25 GMT +00:00 · Published

      A near-total solar eclipse was visible over Berlin on Friday morning. The cityscape was put into semi-darkness as the sun was partially blotted out.

      Partial solar eclipses happen when the Moon comes between the Sun and the Earth, but they don't align in a perfectly straight line. Because of this, the Moon only partially covers the Sun's disc.

      This year the Faroe Islands and the Svalbard archipelago are the only two land sites in the world where the full eclipse was visible.
