On the twelfth of August, one of the most spectacular astronomical phenomena that can be observed from Earth will occur. During the total solar eclipse, the Moon will come between the Earth and the Sun and cast its shadow on the surface of the planet. The Sun will be completely covered for a few moments and transform the day into an unexpected twilight. The north of Spain will be the best place to see it, but in the Valencian Country we will be able to enjoy this unique phenomenon of a thousand wonders. The Moon's shadow will cross the peninsula from the northwest to the Mediterranean, so that we will be able to observe the totality of the eclipse in points of the territory such as Peñíscola, Master of Puchol. The Generalitat Valenciana has announced guided observations, talks and scientific dissemination activities, you will find all the information here.
The band, l’Hemisfèric oferix a més el documental Eclipsi. El moment de la totalitat, que convida al públic a experimentar la bellesa i espectacularitat dels eclipsis solars i pigues, així com altres fenòmens astronòmics relacionats amb la Lluna. The University of Valencia, for his part, retransmetrà en directe el fenòmen a la seua pàgina web i per Youtube, en un acte coorganizat per Fernando Ballesteros i Julia Suso, integrants de l’Observatori Astronòmic de la UV. The Ships here from the 20 of July, an informative space that allows you to discover what the historical eclipse will be like through virtual reality and artificial intelligence. The exhibition proposes a journey that connects two historical moments separated by more than a century. Al 1905, the last total eclipse visible from the peninsula turned the north of the Valencian Community into the center of international astronomical research. However, weather conditions prevented that phenomenon from being fully recorded. We buy, thanks to immersive technologies, citizens will be able to symbolically complete that eclipse and live a recreation of the totality from a perspective impossible to experience with the naked eye. The experience incorporates a virtual reality tour that will allow you to observe the eclipse from space to understand the alignment between the Sun, the Moon and the Earth, as well as the main phenomena associated with totality, like the solar corona, the diamond ring or Baily's pearls. Added to this is an installation that will allow each visitor to become the protagonist of the great astronomical expeditions of the early 20th century thanks to a commemorative portrait generated by artificial intelligence.
