It’s been more than two decades since a total solar eclipse could be seen from mainland Europe. On this occasion, fortunate skywatchers might also catch a glimpse of the Perseid meteors.
On August 3, 2026, in Baden-Württemberg, Germany, a person equipped with solar eclipse glasses prepares for this celestial event.
The total solar eclipse is scheduled for August 9, 2026, at 7:00 AM EDT. It will follow a path across the Arctic and southern Europe, casting a temporary shadow over the late-afternoon skies for millions as the moon completely obscures the sun.
