The total solar eclipse of August 12, 2026 cut a narrow path across the Northern Hemisphere from Greenland to Spain. NASA photographer Bill Ingalls captured a composite image showing multiple stages of the Moon crossing the Sun over a sunflower field in Millán de los Caballeros, Spain. Scientists used the event to study the Sun's corona, which reaches a million degrees Celsius. Teams launched balloons in Iceland and Spain to observe atmospheric changes, and a NASA-funded aircraft flew at 50,000 feet for high-speed images. India missed the eclipse as the Sun had already set.
