The sun will vanish over Europe in a rare total solar eclipse: Watch live
www.sciencedaily.com
A total solar eclipse will plunge parts of Europe into darkness on August 12, 2026, with Spain offering some of the best views. ESA will livestream the spectacle from the Javalambre Observatory, combining telescope feeds, drone footage, and expert commentary. At 20:31 CEST, the observatory will experience 1 minute and 21 seconds of totality, revealing the Sun’s normally hidden outer atmosphere.

Article says the best view will be in Spain, but that’s unintended irony since the sun has already disappeared there due to wildfire smoke :(.

    I went to the total eclipse two years ago near Toronto, and it was a sunny spring day. We were at this sandy trail parking lot and the difference between the feeling of the sun’s radiant heat, that heat reflecting off the ground and the lack of it during totality was noticeable.
