The total solar eclipse of September 3, 2081 takes place mostly over Europe , Africa and Asia as well as the Indian Ocean . For the first time since the solar eclipse on August 11, 1999, the umbra of the moon moves over Central Europe. The maximum of the eclipse is in the Persian Gulf , about 50 kilometers northwest of Abu Dhabi ; the duration of totality there is 5 minutes and 33 seconds.

The darkness belongs to the Saros cycle 136.

This eclipse is one of a series of eight central eclipses in the German-speaking area within only 76 years (2075–2151).

course

The partial phase of the solar eclipse begins over the North Atlantic at 06:32 Universal Time (UT), the umbra first touches the earth at 07:26 UT. Between 07:35 and 07:40 UT, the umbra in Great Britain and France hits the European mainland for the first time, and around 07:45 UT it reaches Germany. The Switzerland , Liechtenstein and Austria are in the range of totality. Shortly afterwards, the darkened sun moves over the north of the Balkan Peninsula . At 08:00 UT, the eclipse reaches the Black Sea . Five minutes later, the sky in Turkey also darkens . At around 08:25 UT, the shadow of the moon darkening the sun moves across the Middle East to the Persian Gulf , where it climaxes at 09:05 UT. Then the eclipse moves across the Indian Ocean to the Indonesian island of Java , where the total eclipse ends at 10:43 UT and the partial eclipse ends at 11:38 UT.

For this eclipse, there are clearly local differences in the calculation of the concrete course of the totality zone due to the significantly different assumptions of the Delta T (NASA: 160.5 s, Calsky: 76.8 s) of 83.7 s. In the NASA calculation, the southern districts of Salzburg experience totality, while Calsky sees these areas clearly outside.
