March 20 Europe will see a total solar eclipse, an event that does not occur at these latitudes since 1999.
Because of its rarity, the event is mobilizing many people, waiting to see the "kiss" between the sun and moon.
In Italy are organizing all over the so-called Sun Party, designed by the Italian Amateur Astronomers (Uai) to assist collectively to the phenomenon.
Here, in fact, the eclipse will be only partial, though still significant. The highlight will occur at 10.31 in Rome, a few seconds later in Milan, but it will last a total of more than two hours, from about 09:30 to 11:40. From Northern Italy will be able to see the moon cover more 'than 70 percent of the solar disk, the South about 50 percent.
On the site of Uai there is a full list of events organized to follow the show together and safely. It 'important fact adopt specific glasses, bought cheaply in stores astronomical equipment, or look through the indirect projection of a telescope, equipped with special filters to prevent damage to the retina.
E 'preferable to an outdoor venue, vast and poorly lit, to enjoy the most of the show. The eclipse will be in the morning and will vary depending on the place where you are to observe it: will begin at 9:16 in Cagliari, then in Rome (9:23), Milan (9:24), Naples (9:25) and Lecce and Trieste (9:30). The maximum obscuration will have about an hour after the start of the eclipse, which will conclude around 11:45.
Although it will not be total, you should still not definite, because even to witness a similar eclipse in Italy will have to wait until 2026.
