MORE TO BE CONFIRMED SOON
THIS PHENOMENON WILL NOT BE VISIBLE AGAIN FROM THIS TERRITORY FOR DECADES.
And there is only one place from which to experience it with knowledge, context, and experience.
WHAT IS A TOTAL ECLIPSE?
A total solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun, completely obscuring it for a few minutes.
During that moment, the sky darkens as if it were night, the temperature drops, and the solar corona becomes visible, something that can only be observed on very rare occasions.
WHY IS AUGUST 12TH SO SPECIAL?
Not all eclipses are the same.
The one on August 12, 2026 will be one of the most important visible from Spain in decades, and it will not be repeated under similar conditions for a long time.
Furthermore, only a specific area will allow a full view of the eclipse. Outside of that area, the phenomenon will be partial.
WHAT WILL HAPPEN THAT DAY?
• Partial start → the sun begins to be covered
• Progressive darkening
· Totality (key moment) → the sky turns dark
• Reappearance of the Sun
The most spectacular moment is the totality, which lasts only a few minutes and completely transforms the environment.
WHY DOES IT MATTER WHERE YOU SEE IT?
The eclipse will be visible from many places, but not all offer the necessary conditions to enjoy it properly.
Factors such as the exact location, the visibility of the horizon, the absence of light pollution, and the organization of the space directly influence the experience.
Galáctica is located within the path of totality and is specifically designed for astronomical observation, allowing you to experience the eclipse under optimal conditions.
IS IT SAFE TO LOOK AT IT?
Observing the eclipse requires adequate protection.
Never look directly at the sun without approved glasses or specially prepared instruments.
The event will provide the necessary means for safe observation.
A total eclipse is not just something you see. It's something you experience.
And it happens in a matter of minutes.
Will the event have experts to guide the eclipse viewing?
Yes! Astronomers and specialists will participate in the event, accompanying and guiding the observation of both the eclipse and the night sky. We will have a prominent presence from the scientific community, including international figures such as the director of the National Observatory of Colombia.
Will there be more special guests or additional activities?
That's right! We're currently working on adding new top-tier talent to our event, including the possible participation of an astronaut with space experience. And to round out the experience, the event will feature live music.
On August 12, day will turn into night.
