NASA-Funded Teams Deploy Across Greenland, Iceland, and Spain to Chase August 12 Total Solar Eclipse

NASA-funded science teams are deploying instruments across Greenland, Iceland, and Spain to chase the August 12, 2026 total solar eclipse. The multi-site campaign targets the solar corona during totality — when the Moon fully covers the Sun — and extends observation time beyond what one ground location allows. The eclipse path spans the Arctic, North Atlantic, and Iberian Peninsula.
