NASA Reports Total Solar Eclipse Visible from Spain on Aug. 12, 2026

On Wednesday, August 12, 2026, a total solar eclipse will be visible from San Millán de los Caballeros in Spain, according to a NASA announcement. The event occurs when the Moon passes directly between the Sun and Earth, completely obscuring the Sun’s face for observers within the narrow path of totality. The eclipse’s path of totality will cross parts of Greenland, Iceland, northern Russia, the Atlantic Ocean, Spain, and a small corner of Portugal. In addition, a partial eclipse will be seen across portions of the United States, most of Canada, much of Europe, and northwest Africa. NASA has made a recording of the eclipse available on its YouTube channel, allowing people worldwide to view the phenomenon even if they are outside the path of totality. The announcement was released by NASA on August 12, 2026, and includes a photograph taken by Bill Ingalls.
