Following a solar eclipse observed in parts of Germany and Europe, astronomers have noted a transition into an “eclipse season.” Due to the five-degree tilt of the moon's orbit, solar and lunar eclipses can occur in close succession. 

A partial lunar eclipse is expected to be visible over Karlsruhe on Friday, August 28.
