I have planned my vacation trip to see this year's solar eclipse in Spain, my first ever totality. I will be going to Valladolid.

Out of curiosity - a quick poll. Fedi folks, are you going to Spain to see the eclipse?

Eclipse Event – a Date for your Diaries!

Here’s an invitation to people interested in astronomy to join staff from the Department of Physics at Maynooth University on Wednesday, August 12th 2026 from 5:30 pm to 8:30 pm for a special public celebration of one of the deepest solar eclipses visible from Ireland in decades. The next eclipse with > 90% obscuration of the Sun by the Moon won’t be seen again in Ireland until 2090, by which time I will have retired.

Experience the eclipse safely through:

• eclipse viewing glasses
• solar telescopes
• live astronomy demonstrations

List of Solar Talks during the evening:

• Dr. Emma Whelan – The Story of the Sun
• Dr. Joshuah Heath – The Quantum Sun
• Dr. Marcin Gradziel – (Electric) Power from the Sun. The good, the bad, and the glinty!
• Dr. Michelle McCrystall – The star of the show: How the Sun drives our climate
• Prof. Peter Coles – Einstein and the Eclipse
• Dr. Patrick Kavanagh – Will our Sun go Supernova?

The evening will also include:

• an immersive astronomy show in our inflatable planetarium
• hands-on arts and crafts activities for children

Maynooth University Staff can reserve a place here until June 14th, after which booking will be opened to the general public – I’ll repost this invitation with a link at that time.

Global Events Update: Results from the 2026 Winter Games and the Antarctic Solar Eclipse

Who won the 2026 Winter Olympics speed skating and where was the solar eclipse? Xandra Velzeboer won gold while Antarctica saw a ring of fire in the sky.

Xandra Velzeboer won the 500m gold medal in Italy while the moon covered the sun in Antarctica. This was the first of two solar eclipses happening in 2026.

I have a rough plan for a location already. I hope it isn't too crowded.

Next year the #Perseids meteor shower will coincide with the day of the New Moon. There will be a total #SolarEclipse in Iceland and Spain on August 12, 2026. I'm intrigued if it might be possible to see Perseids meteors during eclipse totality. However, solar eclipse totality only darkens to twilight, which is not ideal for meteor watching. It would also need some luck to happen at all. https://eclipsophile.com/tse2026/ #astronomy #SolarEclipse2026

Looking forward to #SolarEclipse2026 (Arctic, Greenland, Iceland, Atlantic & Spain), it will coincide with the annual #Perseids2026 meteor shower peak. Some lucky observers may see up to a few meteors during 2 minutes of totality. Map by EclipseWise/Fred Espenak. #astronomy #space #travel
