Exhibition Cesta za čiernym slnkom

The exhibition takes visitors back to June 1, 1973, when an eight-member Expedition of the Astronomical Institute of the Slovak Republic from Tatranská Lomnica went to Niger, the settlement of El Meki in the Air Mountains to observe the solar corona and intramercurial planets.

Astronomical observations were made photographically by six telescopes during the total solar eclipse of June 30, 1973. It was the third longest eclipse of the 20th century, lasting seven minutes and three seconds.
