Episode Details

Get ready for a sky spectacle: the Netherlands is set to witness a rare partial solar eclipse on August 12th, with the moon blocking nearly 90% of the sun’s face around 8:11 PM. Expect noticeable dimming—like twilight—but not full darkness. The event unfolds from 7:15 to just after 9 PM, as the sun dips low on the western horizon. Last seen in the Netherlands back in 1999, this is a once-in-a-generation chance—with the next major eclipses not until 2081 and 2090. Safety first: never look directly at the sun—even during a partial eclipse. Public viewing events are popping up nationwide, including Vlieland, Terschelling, Ameland, Eemshaven, Lauwersoog, Bloemendaal, Petten, and Lattrop. Bring your curiosity—and your eclipse glasses.
