Another view of the August 2026 eclipse

We are quite sure that by now you have heard that on August 12 a total solar eclipse was visible in Greenland, Iceland, Russia, Portugal and, of course, Spain! A large partial eclipse was observed from many European and African countries, as well as the United States and Canada. If you did not secure your eclipse glasses on time, chances were slim to still find one. Not to worry, Proba-2 had you covered. 

Annular eclipse on February 17
