August 2026 Total Solar Eclipse Kicks Off Rare Back-to-Back August Totalities Over Europe and North Africa

On August 12, 2026, a total solar eclipse sweeps from northern Siberia across Greenland, Iceland, Spain, and a corner of Portugal, with a maximum totality of 2 minutes 18 seconds. A second total solar eclipse follows on August 2, 2027, crossing southern Spain, North Africa, and the Middle East — giving the western Mediterranean a rare two-year viewing window. NASA confirms both events.
