TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Several major astronomical events or astronomical phenomena will take place throughout August 2026, including a Total Solar Eclipse, a Partial Lunar Eclipse, the Perseid meteor shower, and a Blue Moon.
Total Solar EclipseThe Total Solar Eclipse, expected around August 12–13, will only be visible along a narrow path stretching across the Arctic, Greenland, Iceland, Spain, Portugal, and Russia.
"The next Total Solar Eclipse will not occur until two years from now," Avivah said on Sunday, August 2, 2026.
Partial Lunar EclipseThe Partial Lunar Eclipse on August 28 will be visible across the eastern Pacific, the Americas, Europe, and Africa.
Those hoping to witness a Total Solar Eclipse from Indonesia, however, will have to wait for a future opportunity.
