Sijinan to witness partial eclipse
On August 12, 2026, the world will prepare for a rare astronomical event: a total solar eclipse passing through extensive regions including northern Greenland, Iceland, Spain, and parts of the Mediterranean Sea. In Tunisia, the eclipse will be visible as a partial eclipse coinciding with sunset, during which the Moon will cover approximately 59.3% to 60% of the Sun's disk, offering a unique astronomical sight at the western horizon. Organized by the City of Science in Tunisia, a celebration will be held to observe this phenomenon, featuring live viewing of the eclipse with filtered telescopes, a scientific lecture, and star and planet viewing shows. Cautionary warnings will be issued regarding the dangers of directly looking at the Sun without proper protection.
