Skywatchers, get ready: The most spectacular eclipse era begins, including one “Eclipse of the Century” you can’t miss

Sky-watchers are set to experience a remarkable sequence of solar eclipses between 2026 and 2028, which includes three total eclipses and three annular “ring of fire” occurrences. The August 2026 eclipse will be the initial total eclipse visible from mainland Europe since 1999, while the August 2027 event, hailed as “the eclipse of the century,” will last more than six minutes across the regions of North Africa and the Middle East.
