On August 12, 2026, a total solar eclipse will captivate observers along its path. This spectacular event will be visible in its entirety across Greenland, Iceland, northern Russia, Spain, and a sliver of Portugal.
However, India will not be among the countries graced by this astronomical spectacle. Neither the total nor the partial phases of the August 12, 2026, solar eclipse will be observable from India. Residents in India will need to turn to live broadcasts or distant observatories to witness the event.
For many across Europe, North America, and northwestern Africa, a partial solar eclipse will be visible. The eclipse is scheduled to commence globally around 15:34 UTC on August 12, with the exact timing varying by location. This event offers a prime opportunity for scientific study of the Sun's corona during totality.
