A total solar eclipse will occur on August 12, 2026, visible across parts of Greenland, Iceland, and Spain.

The eclipse coincides with the peak of the Perseids meteor shower, offering a double spectacle for observers. Safety precautions, including the use of certified eclipse glasses during partial phases, are crucial for viewing. AI
