Total Solar Eclipse 2026
Skywatchers are eagerly awaiting 12 August 2026, when the Moon will completely cover the Sun and cast a sweeping shadow across the North Atlantic.
Path of Totality
The eclipse track begins over northern Greenland, passes Iceland, and finishes over Spain.
Observing Tips
- Plan travel well in advance; accommodations along the path will be limited.
- Bring proper solar filters and practice safe viewing techniques.
- Have a plan for changing weather—clouds can move quickly in the North Atlantic.
Why This Eclipse Stands Out
This will be the first total solar eclipse visible from mainland Spain in over 100 years, making it a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for millions of observers.
