The phenomenon of the total solar eclipse
What is a total eclipse?
A total solar eclipse occurs when the Moon completely covers the solar disc, causing darkness for a few minutes. It is an event of great scientific and popular interest that attracts attention worldwide. On the next August 12, this magic will be visible from Valls and other points in Catalonia.
Why is this eclipse special?
This will be one of the few times a total eclipse will be visible from this area, which is why the City Council wants to provide a suitable space to experience it as a community and under the best possible conditions.
How to participate in the citizen experience
Registrations and information
Although it has not been specified whether prior registration will be required, it is recommended to follow the official communications of the Valls City Council to stay informed about details regarding access and the measures that may be established.
Recommendations for attendees
It is essential to protect your eyes with certified eclipse glasses and follow the organizers’ instructions. These precautions will prevent accidents and make the experience safe and memorable for everyone.
A total solar eclipse does not happen every day, and being able to share it with thousands of people at the same time is quite rare. Valls is preparing to offer this opportunity, and citizens just need to know where to look and when.
