For the first time in 27 years, the Moon's shadow will fall across mainland Europe.
On August 12, 2026, a total solar eclipse sweeps from Arctic Russia over Greenland and Iceland, then down into northern Spain. Along the narrow centre line, the Sun disappears completely for up to 2 minutes and 18 seconds, unveiling its glowing corona. In Spain, this dramatic moment arrives near sunset, with the blackened Sun hanging low over the horizon. Beyond the path, a partial eclipse spans much of North America, Europe, and northwestern Africa.
⚠️ Certified eclipse glasses are essential except during the brief seconds of totality. If you can reach the path, go. Standing in the Moon's shadow is unforgettable 🌑☀️
