Austria Sees "Record" Solar Eclipse in 2026

For Europe, the partial solar eclipse on August 12, 2026, will be a highlight, as a total solar eclipse will not be visible again until 2081. The sun will not be completely obscured on this day; the only place on Earth with total darkness lies in the eclipse track over parts of Spain, Iceland, and Greenland. Since the eclipse in Austria begins in the evening when the sun is already low, a location with an unobstructed view to the west is recommended.

Experts strongly warn against observing the solar eclipse without special glasses or suitable protection. Many improvised methods such as tinted films, X-ray images, or dark CDs are not sufficient and can lead to permanent eye damage. To experience the event safely, only certified solar eclipse glasses or appropriate filters should be used.
