On August 12, 2026, a total solar eclipse will take place — an extraordinary astronomical phenomenon that occurs when the Moon passes directly between the Earth and the Sun, completely covering it for a brief period. During this moment, daylight turns into night, temperatures drop, the sky darkens, and the solar corona becomes visible — a sight that can only be seen during totality.
