In August 2026, two eclipses – a solar eclipse and a lunar eclipse – will be visible. Here's what you need to know about viewing them.

The first event will be a solar eclipse on August 2nd, 2026. According to Wired, this eclipse will be partial for much of the world but will be fully visible from Greenland, Iceland, and parts of Spain, Russia, and North America. The exact path of totality is still being calculated.

Following the solar eclipse, a lunar eclipse will occur on August 31st, 2026. This lunar eclipse will be visible across much of Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia, and South America. Wired notes that this eclipse will be a total lunar eclipse, meaning the moon will pass entirely into Earth’s shadow.

The article provides details for those interested in observing these celestial events, emphasizing the need to use proper eye protection when viewing the solar eclipse. It also highlights the accessibility of the lunar eclipse, as it is safe to view with the naked eye.
