THE SOLAR ECLIPSE ON AUGUST 1st 2008: TIMES FOR NORWAY
Here you can find when and how the eclipse can be seen from numerous locations in Norway.
Midday on August 1st the Moon will glide in front of the Sun causing a
solar eclipse. The last solar eclipse in Norway occurred on
March 29th 2006. This eclipse will be total in a belt which
will cover Kvitøya near Svalbard. The eclipse will be
visible in the rest of Norway, on Svalbard and on Jan Mayen
as a partial eclipse.
The table below gives the times for when the Moon will start crossing
the solar disk (first contact), when the eclipse is at its
maximum and when the Moon leaves the solar disk (last
contact). The times are given in Norwegian daylight saving
time and give hour and minutes with tenths. Diameter and
area at max tell how large a part
of the diameter and the area of the Sun, respectively, which
are covered by the Moon at the maximum of the eclipse. The
height of the Sun is given in degrees.
This is how the eclipse will appear from Oslo as seen
through solar eclipse glasses at its maximum. Click on
