The August 12, 2026 total solar eclipse is the first visible from continental Europe since 1999, and the first in Spain in over a century, with the Moon’s shadow sweeping from Siberia and Greenland across Iceland (including Reykjavík), the Atlantic, northern Spain near Gijón, a sliver of Portugal, and the Balearic Islands at sunset. This video explains the full path of totality, the phases from partial eclipse through diamond ring and Baily’s beads to the dramatic reveal of the solar corona, why the Moon’s 5-degree orbital tilt and non-circular paths mean we don’t get an eclipse every 28 days, and the unique scientific value of totality for studying the Sun’s atmosphere, space weather, and solar research missions like ESA’s Proba-3 - plus practical tips on safe viewing and what to expect on the ground. 🤵 Hosted by Ryan Caton (@DPodDolphinPro). 🖊️ Written by Ryan Caton (@DPodDolphinPro) & Martijn Luinstra. 🎥 Video from Brady Kenniston, John Galloway, McGregor Live, Jack Beyer, NASA Goddard/Conceptual Image Lab, The Royal Astronomical Society, Thomas Murray, NASA Goddard, NASA, ESA/NOAA, ESA, ESA/Proba-3/ASPIICS, NASA/JPL-Caltech/Palomar Observatory, SOHO (ESA & NASA). ✂️ Edited by Ryan Caton (@DPodDolphinPro). 💼 Produced by Kevin Michael Reed (@kmreed).
