Will it be visible in Russia? Technically, yes, the very edge of the eclipse passes through Alexandra Land, Arthur Island and Rudolf Island. But it’s not worth it. Or maybe it’s worth it – you will be the only people who will see this eclipse from the territory of Russia!
Where will it be visible from? The eclipse map is below.The dashed line is the full phase strip.
I’m in line of sight.How can I safely see the eclipse? Be sure to use special protective filters so as not to damage your vision or equipment.Ways to observe and film safely are in the video below:
Should you be afraid of an eclipse?Will it have any impact on people’s daily lives? No
Is it possible to do important things on April 8, make transactions, sew, drive a car, turn on the microwave? Yes, I allow it
The year 2024 is not rich in astronomical events, especially on the territory of the Russian Federation. The main part of the events are conjunctions of the Moon and planets, as well as meteor showers. It’s funny that in 2024 Venus will not have its greatest elongations at all! Saturn will oppose on September 8, Neptune will oppose on September 21, Uranus will oppose on November 17, and Jupiter will oppose on December 8. Solar activity is increasing, so the solar disk is covered with sunspots most of the time, and the likelihood of seeing the aurora increases many times over!
Event time is Moscow (GMT+03:00).

Недавно удалось добраться до более-менее приличной апертуры и поснимать вечернюю Венеру. На тот момент (14 мая 2015 года, 19:55) фаза Венеры составляла 62 процента, а в первой неделе июня фаза уменьшится до 50%. Кстати, удалось легко заметить Венеру невооруженным еще до захода Солнца – яркая белая точка на голубом фоне. Это моё третье наблюдение Венеры при свете Солнца без использования оптических приборов (в прошлый раз это было пару лет назад, я наблюдал Венеру около полудня, стоя в тени).
