I think this was my favourite photo of the set that I took. It's not at maximum coverage, but it does have a sun spot group (4508) just on the cusp of the terminator.

2026 Total Solar Eclipse in Spain - NASA
A total solar eclipse is seen from San Millán de los Caballeros, Spain, Wednesday, Aug. 12, 2026.NASA
Partial eclipse from Germany. Really happy with how this shot turned out. Taken with an Acuter Elite Phoenix 40 and a ToupTek G3M678M.

Community College Instructors Bring Astronomy Textbook Into 21st Century
🌌 August 12, 2026 is a genuinely rare day for skywatching: three major celestial events land in a single 24-hour window.
Before sunrise: six planets (Jupiter, Mercury, Mars, Uranus, Saturn, Neptune) stretch across the sky in a wide alignment. Mars and Saturn are easy naked-eye targets. Uranus and Neptune need binoculars or a telescope.
During the day/evening: a total solar eclipse sweeps from Siberia across Greenland and Iceland, then over northern Spain and Portugal near sunset. Partial eclipse visible across much of North America and Europe. First total eclipse on mainland Europe since 1999.
After dark: the Perseid meteor shower peaks under a moonless sky. NASA predicts up to 50-100 meteors per hour, and without moonlight this is the best Perseid viewing until 2045.

As fascinating as real-world images of #Barsoom are for my #Astronomy and #SciFi heart:
#Elon's megalomaniacal #Longtermist visions for #Mars have spoilt the planet for me.
Of all the dystopian novels that are being realized, #SyFy and #Amazon's series, #TheExpanse, has been coming to my mind time and again: a world dominated by multinationals and billionaires, and interplanetary warfare...

Total solar #eclipse loading ☀️🌕🌍
On 12 August, the #Moon will slip between the #Earth and the #Sun, turning day into night for up to a minute and a half along the path of totality.

"Our measurements reveal an average brightness seven times brighter than mitigation targets cited in FCC filings and peak values over 200 times brighter than the International Astronomical Union’s recommended threshold (V magnitude 7). Now, AST SpaceMobile is expected to deploy over 200 Block 2 satellites that are each three times larger (199 m2) which would be three times brighter than Block 1 (all else being equal), and regulations have not changed."
The conclusion of a century-long quest 😲
Our VLT obtained firm evidence that Betelgeuse, a red supergiant star in the Orion constellation and one of the most famous stars in the night sky, is not alone!
