Total Solar Eclipse on Aug 12, 2026 to Darken Parts of Europe
A total solar eclipse will sweep across Europe on August 12, 2026, with Spain among the primary locations to experience complete darkness. The event is notable for coinciding with lunar perigee and the annual Perseid meteor shower, making it an unusually rare occurrence. Observers in Spain will witness totality lasting over a minute, while surrounding regions will only see a partial eclipse. The European Space Agency plans to broadcast the eclipse live online, allowing global audiences to follow along. Astronomers and health authorities are urging all viewers to use certified eclipse glasses to avoid serious eye damage.
