Alright, who is making plans for 8/12/26?

Iceland would be cool but Spain has the better chances for clear skies.
Seems like a prime opportunity for a bunch of cruise ship companies to offer cruises that run along this path of totality in the sea.

Dude. I would take a leave of absence from work and essentially a demotion to be a watch officer on that ship for free.

After a few days to digest I have to say that is at least a top 5 or better greatest thing I've ever witnessed in person. I was in Batesville, AR and had zero clouds so just over 4 minutes of totality. I was truly awe-struck! Photos and video online doesn't prepare you for the in-person experience. I would do that again in a nano second.

My dad had cloud cover and missed it completely. So sad he missed it. Calendar is marked down for either Gibraltar 2027 (4 minutes totality) or Australia 2028 (5 minutes of totality).

Luxor is probably the best part of Egypt to visit. Enjoy the trip.

Next up, total solar eclipse 8/12/2026. Really wanted to make this one but probably not going to happen due to kids school schedule.

What time is the eclipse in Spain? I've always wanted to see an eclipse at sunset.

Totality in Spain starts in 30 minutes. Bummed I couldn't get there in person for this one.

Just under a year until the next one, and it is going to be a banger. Six and a half minutes of totality!

So cool. Thanks for the link. Nasa has such a great youtube channel.

2024's was my first total eclipse and it was unforgettable. Not sure when I'll be able to catch another one, but it's on my list.

Same. Took off work and my wife and I sat out in our back yard for lunch as it happened. Hard to describe the awe of it

Howdy! I've been off Texags for a bit but did get an incredible experience this total solar eclipse! Finally back and over the jet lag… just now stacking images. We watched via Astro-Trails UK tour where we had 600 people gathered (along with at least 1500 more locals) at the Siguenza Castle northeast of Madrid. Wow!

Totality was so low on the horizon (6.5 percent high) and we caught the sunset in partial. Slight haze did mute the silky streamers of the solar corona, but the strange orange-ness and the large apparent size is the Sun and Moon being so close to the horizon was very unique!

First time to Spain and I would love to go back, incredible food and scenery. Airline lost my bag in Valencia, but reunited after 4 days …about 30 minutes before the train to a Madrid. Whew, left my wedge in the bag and was working a plan B for imaging… it all worked out. More images to come but here are some highlights!

See you in Luxor! It will be a long one, we'll have time to have a bite during totality!

Met a "kid" and his wife as we were running gear in the same area… he helped us scout / find the right spot to observe. After 5 hours of setting up and chatting, he and his wife revealed that they went to Texas A&M (class of '20 & '22)! We had some great laughs… he caught and processed this incredible burst. Way to go Hunter Wells! New Aggie friends unlocked.
