Europe prepares for rare solar eclipse
Europe will witness a total solar eclipse on August 12, 2026, the first of its kind since 2006. During this event, the Moon will block the sunlight over large areas, including northern Russia, Greenland, Iceland, and parts of Spain, which will be in the best position to observe the total eclipse. The eclipse will begin from the far north around 17:00 GMT and last until approximately 18:30, with a prolonged partial eclipse affecting many other regions across Europe, Canada, North America, and northwest Africa. This phenomenon allows scientists to study the Sun's atmosphere, and historically, it evokes feelings of awe and fear, leading to drops in temperatures and some animals going into hibernation. In Spain, the total phase of the eclipse is expected to last no more than two minutes.
