On Friday, March 20, 2015 there will be a Solar Eclipse.
A solar eclipse is when the moon passes between Earth and
the Sun. When this happens it either partly or completely hides the image of
the sun from the perspective of the people on Earth. When this happens the day
time is turned into darkness.
This is an issue for the European Union, which has around 90
gigawatts of solar power. The solar eclipse could in turn impact the power
system and decrease production for the day by up to 34 gigawatts.
Places in Denmark, the Netherlands, and Belgium may
experience a decrease in temperature and wind power. They might also find
themselves 80% concealed in darkness
A total lunar eclipse is also expected to follow on April 4,
2015. The lunar eclipse will be visible in the southern hemisphere, North
America, and the Pacific coast of Asia.
