Eclipse raro do sol da meia noite

Parece estranho um eclipse solar à meia noite como diz Knut Joergen Roed Oedegaard, mas será transmitido, se o tempo permitir e podemos vê-lo ao vivo online se não estivermos na Noruega em: Midnight sun eclipse in northern part of Norway June 1.
Na Noruega o eclipse começa às 22:37 horas  (20:37 UT), termina 00:22 (22:22 UT).

"It might sound like a contradiction to have a solar eclipse in the middle of the night, but this is what we will see in northern Norway, Sweden and Finland on June 1st," says Knut Joergen Roed Oedegaard, an astrophysicist at the Norwegian Centre for Science Education in Oslo.
