Europe experiences daytime eclipse
An annular solar eclipse has been announced to occur in parts of Europe on August 12, 2026, which will briefly turn day into night. The eclipse will begin in northern Russia near the Arctic Circle around 17:00 GMT, with the shadow crossing the Atlantic Ocean, Greenland, and Iceland. There will be a clear viewing opportunity in Spain, where the shadow will pass from the Atlantic coast to the Mediterranean between 17:00 and 18:30 GMT. During the event, the Moon will completely cover the Sun's disk, leading to a drop in temperatures, changes in shadow angles, atmospheric dimming, and observable effects on animal behavior. This eclipse provides a unique opportunity for scientists to study the Sun's corona and outer atmosphere, in hopes of uncovering the secrets of solar wind and the Sun's magnetic field.
