What you'll see in Munich

Artist's impression of the eclipse over Munich: the Moon covering 88.7% of the Sun, 2.1° above the horizon.

Artist's impression. The size of the bite is the 88.7% published for Munich, the side the Moon crosses from is its real position angle at maximum, and the Sun's height above the rooftops is its real altitude. The skyline itself is generic.

Keep eclipse glasses on for the whole event — the Moon never fully covers the Sun here, so it is never safe to look without them, even at maximum.

⚠ Eye safety

Use ISO 12312-2 certified eclipse glasses for the entire partial phase. There is no safe moment to remove them in this city — the Sun is never fully covered.
