Observation de l'éclipse solaire - 20 Mars 2015

Le 20 mars, le Soleil sera éclipsé par la Lune et ce phénomène sera visible à plus de 71 % en Franche-Comté.

L’éclipse commencera à 9 h 23 et se terminera à 11 h 42 avec un maximum à 10 h 31. À Besançon, nous aurons la chance d’avoir plus de 71 % d’occultation et nous pourrons l’observer avec plusieurs instruments équipés spécialement pour profiter du phénomène en toute sécurité :

– lunettes H-alpha de 80 et 60 mm pour voir en plus les protubérances du Soleil ;

– télescopes avec filtre solaire ;

– prêt de lunettes spéciales éclipse en polymère noir.

Une éclipse solaire se produit lorsque la Lune se place devant le Soleil occultant totalement ou partiellement le disque solaire depuis la Terre.

Cet événement s'inscrit dans le cadre de l'Année internationale de la lumière et le projet LUX ! de l'université.
