August 12 2026 Solar Eclipse Guide | California News

Mark your calendars for August 12, 2026 — the only total solar eclipse of the year will sweep across the Northern Hemisphere, with prime views in western Iceland and northern Spain, where Spain hasn’t seen one since 1905. Major European cities like London and Paris will witness nearly full coverage, while North America gets partial views from Fairbanks (37% totality) to New York City. Safety first: wear certified eclipse glasses at all times except during the brief two-minute totality. The next U.S. total eclipse? 2044 (limited states), then coast-to-coast in 2045 — Northeasters, you’ll have to wait until 2079. Don’t miss this rare cosmic show — glasses on, eyes up.
