Two Solar Eclipses in 2026: Indonesia to Witness Partial Phase

In 2026, residents of Indonesia will have the opportunity to witness two spectacular solar eclipses. The first, an annular eclipse, will occur on February 17, most visible in Antarctica. The second, a total eclipse on August 12, will be observable in the northern hemisphere. Indonesians will experience these events as partial eclipses. These moments are not only a feast for the eyes but also crucial for studying the dynamics of Earth, Moon, and Sun interactions. Public astronomy communities will offer viewing events where this phenomenon can be safely observed, reminding of the importance of eye protection.
