What’s a total solar eclipse?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

A total solar eclipse happens when the Moon perfectly blocks the Sun, briefly turning day into twilight and revealing the Sun’s outer atmosphere (corona). It\u2019s a rare and stunning celestial event and it will happen on August 12th!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Fun Fact:<\/strong> The next visible solar eclipse will occur on May 11, 2078 (total solar eclipse in Madeira). And the next one on 25 May, 2142!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

ATTENTION: Never look directly at the Sun without proper eye protection.<\/strong> Even a tiny sliver of sunlight can cause permanent eye damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
