Double Eclipse, One Season: A 2026 Solar-Lunar Pair
APOD explains that eclipses can occur as a pair during an eclipse season. In 2026, a total solar eclipse on Aug 12 (Peñafiel, Spain) and an almost total lunar eclipse on Aug 27/28 (Sèvres, France) were captured in HDR composites, illustrating the rare solar-lunar pairing. The next season brings an annular solar eclipse on Feb 6, 2027 and a penumbral lunar eclipse on Feb 20/21, with NASA noting the site’s move to science.nasa.gov/apod.
