🌞🌙 A Magnificent Solar Eclipse to Enjoy as a Family!
Dear Parents,
On Wednesday, August 12, 2026, we will have the opportunity to witness a beautiful astronomical event: a partial solar eclipse will be visible from Luxembourg. 🌞🌙✨
This is a wonderful opportunity to share a special moment with your children, explain this fascinating phenomenon to them, and encourage their curiosity about the sky and science.
🕐 Eclipse times in Luxembourg
- 🌤️ Beginning of the eclipse: approximately 7:20 PM
- 🌑 Maximum eclipse: approximately 8:15 PM
- 🌅 End of the eclipse: approximately 8:58 PM
At the maximum, around 91% of the Sun will be covered. The Sun will be quite low in the sky, so a clear view toward the west will be necessary.
⚠️ IMPORTANT: PROTECT YOUR CHILDREN’S EYES!
Never look directly at the Sun, even during an eclipse and even when most of the Sun is covered.
Regular sunglasses, cameras, smartphones, or prescription glasses do not provide adequate protection.
If you wish to look directly at the eclipse, you must use special-purpose solar eclipse glasses that meet the appropriate safety standards.
👉 With young children, extra caution is essential. Never allow a child to look at the Sun without close adult supervision.
Another safe option, particularly suitable for young children, is to observe the eclipse indirectly, using a projection method that allows the shape of the Sun to be viewed without looking directly at it.
💚 A magical moment to share
If you have the opportunity, we encourage you to spend a few minutes with your children observing this extraordinary event while carefully following all safety recommendations.
A solar eclipse is a rare and fascinating phenomenon: the Sun, Moon and Earth temporarily align, making it appear as though the Moon is slowly “eating” the Sun. 🌙☀️
Take this opportunity to talk with your children, observe the changing light, ask questions, and simply enjoy this magical moment together. ✨
The entire team at L’Univers de Talia wishes you a wonderful and safe family viewing experience! 💚🌸
The safety of our children always comes first.
