| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited [Regnum] Cosmonaut Pyotr Dubrov shared footage of the solar eclipse from the International Space Station on August 12. The photographs were published by the Roscosmos press service. The footage shows the Moon "biting off" a significant part of the Sun. Earlier, Sergei Yazev, a leading researcher at the Institute of Solar-Terrestrial Physics SB RAS, named the best regions in Russia for observing the solar eclipse. According to him, residents of St. Petersburg, Murmansk, and other northern regions of Russia will see a near-total solar eclipse. He added that in Moscow, the phenomenon will only be partially visible, with the moon covering less than 1% of the solar disk. The eclipse began at 8:03 PM Moscow time. Scientists reported that the shadow would fall on Earth near the Taimyr Peninsula, then move across the Arctic Ocean, through Greenland, and then out into the Atlantic Ocean and through Spain. A partial lunar eclipse is expected on August 28. In the European part of Russia, it will occur at dawn, with a maximum phase of 0.94. |
