✨Spiritual traditions :
💛Personnage indémodable qui séduit autant le grand public familial, toutes générations confondues, que les amateurs de dessin les plus pointus, Lucky Luke, l’un des héros les plus populaires du 9e Art, occupe une place singulière dans le paysage de la bande dessinée. Et que l’on se rassure : il n’est pas si solitaire que ça, comme en témoignent les millions de lecteurs qui lui restent fidèles depuis quatre-vingts ans...
Le programme de cette année anniversaire s’annonce fertile en événements. À commencer par une riche actualité éditoriale, entre la 12e aventure de Lucky Luke concoctée par le duo Jul / Achdé et une nouvelle "relecture" du héros signée par Matthieu Bonhomme.
Forêts du nord du Minnesota, territoire Lakota (...)
Matthieu Bonhomme nous offre un grand western, qui mêle brillamment la plus pure tradition de l’aventure avec un regard tendre, drôle et engagé.
Une comédie musicale et une série télévisée diffusée sur France Télévisions et Disney+ (dont le tournage est raconté dans un making of savoureux de Guillaume Bouzard permettront de découvrir Luke en chair et en os.
Lucky Luke est diffusé en exclusivité sur Disney+ depuis le 23 mars 2026, puis sur France Télévisions.
Plusieurs expositions mettront le personnage à l’honneur, tandis que cinq de ses aventures seront adaptées et interprétées par des comédiens dans des livres audio – ambiance sonore typiquement western garantie !
👉Aller + loin :
Enfin, les éditions Dupuis rendront hommage à l’un des fleurons de leur catalogue à travers une édition spéciale, regroupant les premières aventures dessinées par Morris, et une monographie du dessinateur nourrie par une iconographie inédite.
Bande dessinée : Lucky Luke fête son 80e Anniversaire ? Que de nouveatés ! À vos leçons ! by G-Souto is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International After the total solar eclipse last 12 August and the Perseid meteor shower, 13 August 2026 here we are again looking at the sky !
The early hours of Friday 28 August will reward very early risers in the UK, Europe and Africa with a fine lunar eclipse. Though not quite a total eclipse, it will transform the moon into a dramatic sight as dawn approaches.
This eclipse is a member of Saros 138. The eclipses in a given saros series are separated by 18 years, 11 days, 8 hours. The previous eclipse in this saros series occurred on August 16, 2008, and the next takes place on September 7, 2044.
On August 28, 2026, the evening of the 27th in some time zones), the Moon passes into the shadow of Earth, creating a deep partial eclipse.
🌒Which countries will watch ?
At the moment of greatest eclipse, 4:13 a.m. Universal Time, 96.3% of the Moon's disk is within Earth's umbra, the central part of the shadow where the Sun is completely blocked by Earth. This part of the eclipse is visible in the Americas (except Alaska and northwestern Canada), western Europe and western Africa.
⌚Hour :
The penumbra is the part of Earth's shadow where the Sun is only partially covered by Earth. The effect of the penumbra on the Moon's appearance is subtle. But after the partial phase begins, at 2:34 UTC (10:34 p.m. Eastern on the night of the 27th), the umbra's dramatic effect is easily visible as it takes an increasingly large bite out of the disk of the full Moon.
Less than an hour later, the part of the Moon still in sunlight will be small enough for observers' eyes to adapt to darkness and perceive the coppery color of the part of the Moon within the umbra. The visualizations here mimic this dark adaptation by increasing the apparent photographic exposure around the time of greatest eclipse.
"Obscuration is more intuitive — it's always between 0 and 1 — and it more closely matches the visual experience. You can say without qualification that "96.3% of the Moon's disk" will be within the umbra."
NASA
💬Where to watch ?
"A world map showing where the eclipse is visible at different phases. Contours mark the boundary around the part of Earth where each phase is visible. The start of the partial phase, for example, is visible everywhere within the orange contour. The map is centered on 63°8'W, the sublunar point at greatest eclipse (the longitude where the Moon is highest in the sky). The eclipse can't be seen in the gray areas outside the contours."
NASA
As the eclipse unfolds, the moon will be sinking, so find an observation site with an uninterrupted view towards the western horizon, and enjoy the view as the eclipse slips from view while the dawn gathers behind you in the east.
Unlike a solar eclipse, a lunar eclipse is completely safe to watch with the naked eye. Binoculars will even reveal subtle shades of colour across the moon’s surface.
Observers across much of the Americas will be able to enjoy the eclipse from beginning to end from late night on Thursday 27 August, while those in New Zealand will catch little more than its closing moments much later on Friday.
