Six days to totality: Space.com's live coverage of the 2026 total solar eclipse

TL;DR
Space.com is counting down to August 12, 2026 with live eclipse updates from two vantage points along the path of totality: Daisy Dobrijevic aboard HX Expeditions' MS Spitsbergen in Greenland and Anthony Wood reporting from Valoria la Beuna, Spain. The eclipse will sweep across Greenland, Iceland, northern Spain and the Balearic Islands, delivering totality (a brief twilight) to a narrow corridor while a larger audience elsewhere sees a partial eclipse; readers can follow ongoing reporting, viewing tips, guides, and complete coverage as the day approaches.
