Short Description
The 11th August 1999 a total eclipse passed over large parts of Europe. The German stations Südwestrundfunk, Bayerischer Rundfunk, Saarländischer Rundfunk, the Austrian Television ORF, France 2 and France 3 and the BBC cooperated to cover the event Europe wide. As the eclipse in the particular region of each station lasted only a quarter of an hour the shadow from its arrival in South England to its disappearance in Hungary should be followed.

The project was completed successfully. No more activities are planned at the moment.
