Solar Eclipse 2026 – A major astronomical event across Europe
For the first time since 1999, a total solar eclipse will occur in Central Europe in 2026. It will take place in the evening of 12 August. It will reach populated areas in the afternoon in western Iceland. The black sun will be visible for just under a minute above the capital, Reykjavík; shortly afterwards, the legendary Snæfellsjökull volcano will appear in the twilight. The path continues across the Atlantic, before reaching land again in northern Spain in the late afternoon. The umbra will cross Spain in around four minutes, with the cities of Bilbao, Valladolid, Valencia and Palma de Mallorca will lie within the central zone. In many other countries in Europe, the partial solar eclipse – with over 80% of the Sun covered by the Moon – will be an absolutely breathtaking experience. Another total solar eclipse is already scheduled for Spain in 2027. And in 2028, solar observers across Europe can look forward to an annular solar eclipse.
The Sun – Always worth a look!
Even when there is no solar eclipse, you can safely observe the sun with the Omegon Solar Safe solar eclipse glasses. With a bit of luck, you might even spot larger sunspots or birds or aeroplanes flying past the sun. Generally speaking, you can also catch a glimpse of the rare transits of planets such as Mercury.
