The ring-shaped solar eclipse of October 3, 2005 was observable in its partial phase in the morning and noon hours from Central Europe . Its circular course began in the North Atlantic and went over the Iberian Peninsula , the Mediterranean Sea and through North and East Africa . At about the height of the equator , the central line of the darkness in the Indian Ocean continued in an easterly direction. The maximum of the eclipse was reached in Sudan , where the ring-shaped phase lasted 4 minutes and 31.5 seconds, the maximum width of the ring-shaped zone was 164 kilometers.
Observations
Due to the relatively good accessibility and the German Unity Day, which falls on a Monday , there was some eclipse tourism, which, however, lagged far behind the extent of the total solar eclipse of August 11, 1999 .
Sharp shadows, a short pearl effect and a significant cooling could be perceived.
