    Total Solar Eclipse of August 12, 2026

    On August 12, 2026, a total solar eclipse will cross Greenland, Iceland, the north of Spain, and a small area of northeastern Portugal. The Moon will completely cover the Sun for about two minutes, causing the sky to darken in broad daylight and allowing the observation of the solar corona. NASA reminds that it is never safe to look directly at the Sun without appropriate protection, even when the eclipse is partial. Certified ISO 12312-2 glasses are the only recommended protection.
