Egypt misses eclipse event
The world will witness a total solar eclipse on August 12, 2026. This phenomenon will be visible in parts of Russia, Greenland, Spain, and Iceland, while it will be seen as a partial eclipse over large areas of Europe, northern Asia, northwest Africa, North America, as well as some regions in the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans. The total eclipse will last approximately two minutes and 18 seconds, with the Sun's disk covered at its peak by 103.9%. Egypt will not have the opportunity to see either the total or partial eclipse, as it lies outside the path of visibility. However, the eclipse will still be one of the prominent astronomical events in the region, influencing the determination of the beginnings of the Islamic lunar months and providing a valuable opportunity to study the Sun and its atmosphere. It is also expected that the 21st century will witness 224 solar eclipses, ranging from partial and annular to total, according to data from the National Institute for Astronomical Research.
