Voor het eerst in meer dan een kwart eeuw vindt in Nederland een bijna volledige zonsverduistering plaats

For the first time in over 27 years, the Netherlands will experience a near-total solar eclipse on Wednesday evening. The celestial event occurs when the moon passes between the sun and the earth, causing daylight to dim into twilight before the sun officially sets. The phenomenon is expected to begin shortly after 7:00 PM local time. This event marks a significant astronomical occurrence for the region, as it is the first time such an eclipse has been visible in the country in more than a quarter of a century.
