Mapping the Path of Totality: Solar Eclipse Maps Point the Way

A CNN Science/Space article explains how eclipse cartographers map the path of totality for the August 12, 2026 solar eclipse. EclipseAtlas founder Michael Zeiler uses centuries of observations and high-precision modeling—including the saros cycle and Delta T corrections—to predict where the Moon’s shadow will fall, helping observers choose optimal viewing spots, sometimes at the edge of totality to catch phenomena like Baily’s Beads. Totality will be visible from Greenland, Iceland, northern Spain and northeastern Portugal, with partial views across Europe, Africa and North America; timings vary (Reykjavík ~1:48, León ~2:28). Maps and resources like Time and Date aid planning, and the piece notes that continued refinements in measurements keep eclipse predictions advancing toward kilometer-scale accuracy, with next total eclipses in 2027 and 2044 anticipated for observers.

Sunset Solar Eclipse to Dazzle Mallorca: A Rare Horizon-Totality Show

On August 12, 2026, eastern Spain and the Balearic Islands will witness a horizon-proximity total solar eclipse, with 1 minute 36 seconds of totality at Mallorca’s northwest coast at 8:31 p.m. CEST, just 2.7 degrees above the horizon; the event creates a dramatic double twilight as daylight fades from below while the Moon’s shadow darkens from above, and observers should stay a bit after totality to watch the departing shadow—an unusually rare, land-based sunset eclipse.
