Solar eclipse occurs with new Rabi' al-Awwal moon
On Thursday, August 13, 2026, there will be a central conjunction between the Sun, Moon, and Earth, marking the astronomical announcement of the birth of the new moon of the month of Rabi' al-Awwal 1448 AH. This event will occur at 6:37 PM local time in Tunisia. Coinciding with this, there will be a total solar eclipse, which will be visible as a partial eclipse in Tunisia. The moon sighting will begin from regions in the western Pacific and central Australia at 8:58 AM. This phenomenon is scientifically significant because it coincides with the moon's birth and presents a unique astronomical opportunity to observe it. The Dar al-Iftaa is the sole authority authorized to announce the beginning of lunar months in the country.
