General mobilization in France for the public to share the adventure of solar eclipse Friday, March 20 morning. And for good reason. This eclipse “will be the most visible and striking astronomical event since the total eclipse of 11 August 1999 which had fueled the curiosity of more than one in two French people,” according to the French Association of Astronomy (AFA). In France, the Sun will be hidden from about 80% in the north of France and 65% in the South

On the Paris-Lyon-Nice, the eclipse will begin at 9:15 and end at 11:40. But clouds could spoil the show in places, especially near the coast of the English Channel and the Ile-de-France, according to Météo France.

At the same time, the CNRS and observatories will gather images of the eclipse and will be broadcasting them so that everyone can observe the phenomenon even in bad weather.

The CNRS says its laboratories and observatories for Earth sciences are mobilized to welcome the public and school “on the occasion of this rare and spectacular event.” For those who can not move or do not have glasses, you can watch the eclipse on the internet.
