Total solar eclipse darkens skies across Northern Hemisphere
▶ Watch Video: Watch: Cheers in Spain during solar eclipse's moment of totality
The only total solar eclipse of 2026 brought darkness across a swath of the Northern Hemisphere on Wednesday. Crowds gathered all across Europe to see it, with northern Spain a prime viewing location in the path of totality.First, if you've never had the opportunity to see a solar eclipse, what you are watching is the moon passing in front of the sun. It occurs somewhere on Earth about every 18 months, but in any one particular spot on the globe they could happen hundreds of years apart.Here's what to know about the total solar eclipse:Where was the solar eclipse visible?Many places along the path of totality are not inhabited, like northern Greenland. But western Iceland and northern Spain also lay in the path for a peak eclipse experience. In Spain, they had not experienced a total solar eclipse since 1905.This animation from NASA shows the path of totality for the eclipse, along with the time it crosses those areas: Even though totality only reached a relatively narrow slice of the hemisphere, a partial solar eclipse was visible in a much wider area. About 230 million people live in areas getting 90% totality, according to population data from the Center for International Earth Science Information Network at Columbia University.That includes most major cities in Europe, including Madrid, London and Paris.The moon partially covers the sun during the solar eclipse, as seen from Berlin, Germany.
