Title: Solar Eclipse
Post by: Bla on March 16, 2015, 01:40:23 PM

There's a solar eclipse visible in Denmark and presumably other parts of Europe as well on March 20 around/before midday. In Svalbard and the Faroe Islands it'll be a full eclipse, in Denmark 81%-85% of the Sun will be blocked.

So if you're stopping by Svalbard or the Faroe Islands with Clear Weather, make sure to see it.
And remember to plaster over your eyes for safety.

I plan to be in a superposition of |Svalbard> and |Denmark> on that date.
Please don't sandwich the position operator between my state.

Edit: Here's a gif showing where you can see the solar eclipse (assuming good weather, UTC time). Looks like it'll be cloudy here unfortunately.
