On August 12, 2026, a partial solar eclipse will be visible from Morocco, offering a unique sunset spectacle. The Moon will pass in front of the Sun, creating a crescent-shaped sun as it sets below the horizon.
According to astronomical predictions, the eclipse will be visible across the entire country, with the greatest obscuration occurring just before sunset. The exact timing and visibility will vary by location, with western regions experiencing the eclipse closer to the horizon.
Experts advise using proper eye protection, such as eclipse glasses, to safely observe the event. Looking directly at the Sun without protection can cause serious eye damage.
This eclipse is part of a series of solar eclipses in 2026, following a total solar eclipse visible in parts of the Arctic and Greenland earlier in the year.
