DESCRIPTION:On Wednesday August 12\, 2026\, a solar eclipse will be visibl
 e throughout a large part of Europe. For viewers in Belgium\, almost 90% o
 f the solar surface will be covered by the Moon. The eclipse will thus not
  be total here\, but still very impressive!This eclipse will reach its max
 imum just before sunset\, which is why the Royal Observatory of Belgium ha
 s decided to open its Radioastronomy station in Humain (Marche-en-Famenne)
  for this occasion. At this location\, visitors will have a clear view of 
 the horizon\, and will be able to enjoy the eclipse fully (weather permitt
 ing).Come early and grab the opportunity to also visit de radioastronomy s
 tation before the eclipse. This is a site that very rarely opens to the pu
 blic\, which makes this a unique opportunity to learn more about the solar
  observations we make there.We finish the evening by setting up telescope 
 for night time observations. Maybe you can catch a glimpse of the planet V
 enus!When?On August 12\, 2026. We open the site from 17h onwards. The ecli
 pse will start at 19:19 and reach its maximum at 20:14 (local time). The 
 site will close to the public at 22h30.Where?Address: Rue de l'Observatoir
