Astronomical Events Light Up Sky on August 12
On August 12th, the Gulf sky will witness an extraordinary astronomical event combining four major occurrences: an alignment of six planets including Jupiter, Mercury, Mars, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune; the appearance of the new moon that darkens the sky; a total solar eclipse covering parts of northern Russia, Greenland, Iceland, and northern Spain, with a chance of partial viewing in some areas of the United States. Additionally, the peak of the Perseid meteor shower will occur, potentially producing up to 100 meteors per hour, with optimal viewing conditions thanks to the new moon. Observing some of the planets may require telescopes or binoculars, and it is recommended not to look directly at the sun during the eclipse without proper protective gear.
