After more than half a century of waiting, Spain is preparing to witness a total solar eclipse in August 2026, an astronomical event marking the beginning of a series of three major eclipses.

Next August 2026 will mark the return of a total solar eclipse to national territory, an event that has not been anticipated for over fifty years. This phenomenon will be the first in a series of three significant eclipses that can be observed in Spain over the next three years, including two total eclipses and one annular eclipse.
Through its 'Cosmocrónicas' section, the Museum of Science and the Cosmos delves into topics related to the Universe, Astronomy, and Astronautics. The aim is to simply and practically explain the most common and current astronomical phenomena, providing appropriate guidance for their perfect and enjoyable observation, whether with the naked eye or small instruments.
