2026's only total solar eclipse happens tomorrow. Here's the path and times of visibility.

Key Points:

• The only total solar eclipse of 2026 will occur on Wednesday, visible primarily across northern parts of the Northern Hemisphere, including northern Greenland, western Iceland, and northern Spain, with Spain experiencing totality for the first time since 1905.
• While totality will be limited to a few populated regions, a partial solar eclipse will be visible to about 230 million people across Europe, parts of North America, and other areas, with major cities like Madrid, London, Paris, and Fairbanks, Alaska, seeing significant partial coverage.
• The eclipse will begin at 17:00 UTC (1 p.m. ET) in northern Russia and progress across Greenland, Iceland, the UK, and northern Spain, ending by 2:45 p.m. ET; totality lasts about two minutes in the path of totality.
• Safe viewing requires solar eclipse glasses to protect eyes, which can be removed only during the brief totality phase; outside the path of totality, glasses must be worn throughout the event.
• The next total solar eclipse visible in the U.S. will be in 2044, limited to Montana, North Dakota, and South Dakota, with a more widespread coast-to-coast eclipse occurring in 2045; northeastern U.S. residents must wait until 2079 for totality.
