Watch the Solar Eclipse from Cinemateket’s Rooftop Terrace

On 12 August, the Round Tower, Cinemateket and the nationwide initiative Sol26.dk invite guests to experience the solar eclipse from Cinemateket’s rooftop terrace, Filmtaget. Our astronomy communicators will be present throughout the event.

More than 83 percent of the Sun’s disk will be covered when we experience a solar eclipse in Denmark on 12 August from 7:20-9:00 pm. It will be the best solar eclipse visible from Denmark until 2039, so there’s plenty to look forward to!

Watching the eclipse from Cinemateket’s Rooftop Terrace is free from 6.30PM, and protective eclipse glasses will be handed out to guests while supples last.

The Round Tower’s astronomy communicators will be present at the roof terrace, Filmtaget, bringing their portable Smart Telescope. Please note that queueing to observe the eclipse through the telescope may occur.

What if it rains or the sky is overcast?

The event still takes place in case of rain or clouds. Cinemateket’s Sky Cinema can be covered, and they will also provide a live broadcast of the solar eclipse in the Sky Cinema (free admission, but limited seating and first come, first served) from a location somewhere in the world where the Sun is visible.

Find Cinemateket at Gothersgade 55 – a short 5 minute walk from the Round Tower.

It is not possible to watch the solar eclipse at the Round Tower.
The event at Cinemateket has a maximum capacity of 500 people.

PLEASE NOTE: Never look directly at the Sun without approved protective glasses
Even though the Sun will be partially covered, it is important never to look directly at it without approved eye protection. Ordinary sunglasses do not provide sufficient protection for your eyes. Always use CE-approved eclipse glasses or another approved solar filter if you want to observe the eclipse.
