Four days to totality: Space.com's live eclipse coverage for Aug. 12, 2026

Space.com is counting down to the Aug. 12, 2026 total solar eclipse with live coverage from two locations along the path of totality—Greenland and northern Spain. The article notes that Europe, plus parts of the northeastern U.S. and eastern Canada, will see a partial eclipse, while the moon's shadow briefly darkens the sky along the path of totality. Skywatching editors Daisy Dobrijevic and Anthony Wood are reporting from Greenland's Scoresby Sund and from Valoria la Buena, Spain, respectively, bringing updates before and during totality. Viewers are reminded to wear certified eclipse glasses or use safe projection methods, and to be prepared for variable weather as the event approaches, with four days remaining until totality.
