Solar eclipse 2026 - a cosmic spectacle across Europe
For the first time since 2015, a total solar eclipse will occur in europe in 2026. It will happen on 12 August in the evening hours. It will reach areas inhabited by humans in the afternoon in western Iceland. The black sun will be visible for just under a minute over the capital Reykjavík, and a short time later the legendary Snæfellsjökull volcano will appear in the twilight. The route continues across the Atlantic before hitting land again in northern Spain in the late afternoon. The umbra crosses Spain in around four minutes and the cities of Bilbao, Valladolid, Valencia and Palma de Mallorca lie in the centre zone. In many other countries in europe, the partial solar eclipse is an absolutely impressive experience, with the moon covering over 80% of the sun in some places. There will be another total solar eclipse in Spain as early as 2027, and solar observers in europe can look forward to an annular solar eclipse in 2028.
The sun - always worth a look!
Even independently of a solar eclipse, you can safely observe the sun with the Omegon Solar Safe solar eclipse glasses and, with a little luck, recognise sunspots or birds or aircraft flying past the sun, for example. In general, the rare transits of planets such as Mercury can also be spotted.
