Morocco is set to witness a partial solar eclipse on Wednesday, August 12, 2026, according to astronomical forecasts. The phenomenon will occur in the late afternoon and will be visible across the entire national territory, weather permitting.
The eclipse will begin at approximately 17:30 local time and reach its maximum around 18:45, with the Sun setting shortly after. The partial phase will obscure a significant portion of the solar disk, offering a spectacular view for observers.
Astronomers and enthusiasts are advised to use proper eye protection, such as eclipse glasses or solar filters, to avoid permanent eye damage. The next total solar eclipse visible from Morocco is not expected until 2027.
This event is part of a series of solar eclipses occurring in 2026, and it provides a unique opportunity for scientific observation and public engagement with astronomy.
