On Wednesday, August 12, 2026, for the first time in twenty years, continental Europe will experience a total solar eclipse. The path of totality will cross Iceland, Greenland, northern Spain, and Portugal, while Italy will see a very deep partial eclipse, especially in the North and Sardinia.
In this video, I explain everything you need to know: how a solar eclipse works, where and when it will be visible, and most importantly, how to observe it safely, because looking at the Sun without proper protection can cause permanent eye damage.
