Official notice of overflight

Upcoming overflights

The Bureau records the following forthcoming phenomena above the parcel. Attendance of the bodies is assured; the weather is not administered by the Bureau.

• ☉Solar eclipsepeaks in 14 days

  Partial Solar Eclipse

  12 Aug 2026 · 20:11

  over 85 % of the Sun covered, just before sunset — the largest since 1999

  Notice of the Bureau

  The Bureau announces a scheduled outage of the Sun. Over Iceland and northern Spain the outage will be total; above the parcel the Moon will cover more than 85 % of the solar disc — and the Sun will carry its bitten edge straight below the horizon, the maximum falling a few minutes before sunset. The Bureau plans no larger eclipse above the parcel before 2075. Complaints regarding lost daylight are not accepted.

  Pursuant to §19(1) — Eclipse: “An eclipse is a scheduled outage of the sun. The Bureau neither approves nor cancels it; complaints regarding lost daylight are not accepted.”

• ✦Meteor showerpeaks in 14 days

  Perseids

  12 Aug 2026 · Window of activity: 17 Jul 2026 – 24 Aug 2026

  up to 100 meteors an hour · new moon, a sky with no Moon in it

  Notice of the Bureau

  The Bureau announces that the Perseid shower peaks above the parcel. Attendance of the bodies is assured; the weather is not administered by the Bureau. The Moon is new that same day and will not appear — the Bureau takes this as a gesture of goodwill.

  Pursuant to §11(4) — Stars: “Stars visible from the parcel are non-transferable. Shooting stars do not count toward the parcel area; wishes are non-refundable.”

• ◑Lunar eclipsepeaks in 30 days

  Deep Partial Lunar Eclipse

  28 Aug 2026 · 06:12

  93 % of the diameter in shadow · umbral phase from 4:33, the Moon sets still eclipsed

  Notice of the Bureau

  The Bureau announces that the Moon will enter the Earth's shadow above the parcel, and deeply — 93 % of its diameter will hide in it. This is a scheduled outage, not a fault. The umbral phase begins at half past four in the morning and the Moon sets still eclipsed, before dawn. Those who oversleep are out of luck; the Bureau arranges no repeat screening.

  Pursuant to §19(1) — Eclipse: “An eclipse is a scheduled outage of the sun. The Bureau neither approves nor cancels it; complaints regarding lost daylight are not accepted.”

§14(2) — Overflights: “Overflight by aircraft, satellites, and the International Space Station does not constitute disturbance of tenure. Waving is permitted and encouraged.”
