Watching & Commenting the Total Eclipse – 12 August 2026 – Space Renaissance International & LUNEX

12 August @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm CEST
This webinar serves as a core anchor for the organization’s Solar Eclipse Campaign. It will bridge citizens, artists, and space scientists to observe and analyze this rare celestial phenomenon—the first total solar eclipse visible from mainland Europe since 1999.

Key Highlights & Discussion Topics

The webinar will feature a dynamic lineup of international space experts, astrobiologists, and cultural leaders. The program includes:
  • Live Totality Coverage: Real-time updates and visual insights as the Moon’s shadow crosses Greenland, Iceland, and Northern Spain.
  • Solar Maximum Science: Expert presentations breaking down why this specific eclipse is highly unique due to the Sun’s current peak “Solar Maximum” activity and volatile corona.
  • The Civilian Space Transition: Updates from SRI leadership on low-cost space access, sustainable geo-lunar infrastructure, and The Space Renaissance Manifesto.
  • ArtMoonMars Initiatives: Insight into the cultural expansion of space, highlighting the integration of science and miniature art payloads designed for upcoming lunar missions.

Scheduled Speakers

The panel will be led by Prof. Bernard Foing, President of Space Renaissance International and CEO of LUNEX EuroMoonMars, together with Adriano V. Autino, founder of Space Renaissance International. They will be joined by collaborative scientists, safety advocates, and science communicators discussing safe solar observation and civilian orbital engagement. “This total solar eclipse provides a profound, collective experience for millions of eyes to look up and think about our place in the cosmos,” says Prof. Bernard Foing. “Through our Solar Eclipse Campaign and this webinar, we aim to translate this awe-inspiring event into public excitement for sustainable civilian space development and broader access to the lunar frontier.”
