The total solar eclipse that’s set to happen this summer will no doubt be one of this year’s most memorable events.
Make sure to put a note in your diaries because on 12 August 2026 the solar eclipse will be visible across parts of Europe and the north Atlantic.
The path of totality will cross Greenland, Iceland, Spain and a small area of northeastern Portugal, said the European Space Agency (ESA). This will see cities and towns located in the path of totality plunged into darkness for up to two minutes. Meanwhile, other parts of Europe will see a partial solar eclipse.
