Total Solar Eclipse 2026: Where to See It and How to Watch Safely

A total solar eclipse will take place on Aug. 12, 2026, with totality visible along a path across Greenland, Iceland, northern Russia, Spain, and parts of Portugal and the Atlantic; the U.S. will only see a partial eclipse (Alaska to North Carolina), while Canada, Europe and northwestern Africa will also view partials. The Perseid meteor shower peaks the following night. To view safely, wear ISO 12312-2 eclipse glasses or solar viewers and avoid looking at the Sun except during totality; test glasses first and plan travel if you want to witness totality in person.

Spain 2026 total solar eclipse: plan your viewing to beat obstructions and traffic

Spain will witness a low-altitude total solar eclipse on Aug 12, 2026. Success hinges on precise site selection: choose a west-northwest-facing spot with a clear horizon and minimal terrain obstructions, since mountains and buildings can block the sun right as totality occurs. Expect heavy traffic near major cities; plan using eclipse-path tools (Eclipsophile, Eclipse Atlas, Xavier Jubier maps) and scout the location the night before to secure an unobstructed view of totality and the corona.
