Libya to Experience Partial Solar Eclipse on August 12
On August 12, 2026, Libya will experience a partial solar eclipse, during which the Moon will block approximately 18% of the Sun's disk in the western part of the country, especially at sunset, according to the Libyan Center for Remote Sensing and Space Sciences. The eclipse will occur between 7:46 PM and 7:55 PM, with a warning about the dangers of directly looking at the Sun during the eclipse without proper glasses, especially for children, to avoid retinal damage and permanent blindness. In eastern Libyan cities such as Benghazi, the impact will be less, with a coverage of less than 1%. This partial eclipse coincides with the conjunction of the month of Rabi' al-Awwal of the year 1448 AH. It is a rare astronomical phenomenon, and caution should be exercised when observing it.
