Experience the Total Solar Eclipse

TOTAL SOLAR ECLIPSE 2026!

On Wednesday, August 12, 2026, a total solar eclipse will cross parts of the Northern Hemisphere, marking the first visible from Western Europe since 1999. The path of totality sweeps through Spain, Greenland, and Iceland, with a maximum duration of 2 minutes and 18 seconds.

Not in the path? You may still be in luck. Much of Europe will see roughly 90% of the Sun eclipsed, and some major cities in the Eastern U.S. will catch a partial eclipse too.
