Our country will witness again a total solar eclipse on 29 March 2006 after the 11 August 1999 eclipse. This eclipse will be visible within a zone starting from western Mediterranean to eastern Black Sea regions during almost 4 minutes. On the other hand, TUBITAK National Observatory of Turkey lies within the zone of this totality. This work include the specifications of 29 March 2006 total solar eclipse, contact times, meteorological data, public organizations and observational techniques. Preparations have already begun in Antalya and at the National Observatory to utilize this rare fascinating event.
