Abstract

On Tuesday 2 July 2019, in the late afternoon, a total solar eclipse took place over ESO’s La Silla Observatory; totality lasted 1 minute and 52 seconds. For this very special event, ESO decided to open the doors of the observatory to the public, providing over one thousand visitors with a unique vantage point from which to witness this spectacular natural phenomenon.
