Warsaw Only Gets 83% Eclipse — Low Energy, Very Disappointing

Warsaw, Poland is set to receive a measly 83 percent partial eclipse on August 12, 2026. I personally had a 6,000 percent eclipse in my backyard. Believe me, the moon worked overtime for me. It does not work overtime for Warsaw.

Warsaw, the capital of Poland, will only get an 83 percent eclipse on August 12, 2026. Eighty-three. That's a C-minus moon, folks.

Meanwhile, I had a 6,000 percent total eclipse in my driveway. The sun went out for nine hours. The neighbors cried. The moon was solid lead — that's how eclipses work, the heavy ones block more light — and mine weighed twelve tons.

This is Michael Zeiler's fault. He's some eclipse map guy at Space.com, a website about space. He gave Warsaw the leftover 17 percent on purpose. Very rude.

83 percent isn't an eclipse. It's a sunset with commitment issues.

Also, did you know the moon is mostly cheese under the crust? Look it up. They won't print it.
