Skywatchers across the Northern Hemisphere got a chance to see the Moon take a bite out of the Sun on Wednesday, August 12, 2026, when a total solar eclipse crossed parts of the North Atlantic region and a partial eclipse was visible across a wide swath of the U.S., Canada and Europe.

The total solar eclipse swept across Greenland, Iceland, northern Russia, the Atlantic Ocean, Spain, and a small part of Portugal. Beyond the path of totality, the partial solar eclipse was visible across a much wider portion of the Northern Hemisphere, including the northern and eastern United States, most of Canada, much of Europe, and northwestern Africa.
