On August 12, 2026, an exceptional astronomical event will take place: a total solar eclipse visible from the Iberian Peninsula. For a few moments, the Moon will align perfectly with the Earth and the Sun, completely obscuring the solar disk and turning day into night.
This talk will provide a clear and accessible introduction to what a solar eclipse is, why these phenomena are so special, and what we will be able to observe from our region. An ideal opportunity to start preparing to experience one of the great celestial spectacles of the 21st century.
