August 12, 2026 total solar eclipse

The Moon will pass between Earth and the Sun and completely cover the Sun’s disk along a limited path on Earth’s surface. NASA identifies the path of totality across northern Russia, Greenland, Iceland, and northern Spain, with a small part of Portugal also inside it. In parts of the United States, from Alaska to North Carolina, the eclipse will be partial, with the amount of the Sun covered varying by location. The date is documented, but the available evidence does not give the exact time in UTC or the eclipse’s duration.
