The sky of Oliva will darken almost completely this Wednesday, August 12, with a solar eclipse that will reach 99.90% obscuration. The phenomenon will start at 19:39 and end at 21:24.
Next Wednesday, August 12, Oliva will experience one of the most anticipated astronomical phenomena of the year: a solar eclipse that will cover 99.90% of the solar disc. The peak will occur at 20:34, according to data provided by the Oliva Town Hall.
The eclipse will begin at 19:39 and will last until 21:24, coinciding with sunset. Due to the low elevation above the horizon, experts recommend finding a spot with a clear view to the west, free from mountains, buildings, or trees that could obstruct the view.
One should never observe the Sun directly without certified protection, nor use sunglasses, X-rays, or other homemade methods,” warn the town council.
The Oliva Town Hall encourages everyone to enjoy the eclipse safely and responsibly. For more information, the National Astronomical Observatory (IGN) website provides details about the characteristics of such phenomena.
Local residents who wish to follow the eclipse live should pay attention to the sky's evolution late in the afternoon. The event is this Wednesday, with the western horizon as the best ally.
