European Educational Website

Not just an other eclipse-site: on the eclipse site of the EAAE (European Association for Astronomy Education) and ESO (European Southern Observatory) students across Europe as well as amateur astronomers (or even better: students in cooperation with amateur astronomers!) are invited to do some simple experiments during the 1999 eclipse. The URL of the site is:

http://www.eso.org/aol/eclipse99/

The contents:
- - where and when to observe the eclipse
- - how to observe the eclipse (with original methods for save observing)
- - how to photograph the eclipse (with a unique 'exposure time calculator'!)
- - students projects (measuring the moon's distance etc.)
- - a map of groups joining the projects
