Antarctic Ring of Fire: The 2026 Annular Eclipse Guide

On February 17, 2026, a spectacular annular solar eclipse graces Antarctica as the Moon’s apogee yields a bright ring around the Sun. We unpack the geometry—why up to 96% coverage lasts about 140 seconds, how to watch safely with ISO 12312-2 glasses, and where to catch the show from the Southern Ocean and remote stations. We also tease the August 12 total eclipse visible from Greenland, Iceland, and Spain, and reflect on the cosmic clock that will eventually move total eclipses out of reach as the Moon drifts away.Note:  This podcast was AI-generated, and sometimes AI can make mistakes.  Please double-check any critical information.Sponsored by Embersilk LLC
