NASA will live stream the total solar eclipse on August 12, 2026, as the rare celestial event crosses parts of Greenland, Iceland, Spain, Russia, and the Atlantic Ocean. The agency will also conduct scientific experiments using high-altitude aircraft and research balloons to study the Sun's corona and Earth's atmosphere.

In less than a fortnight, Britain will be plunged into daytime darkness as the moon passes in front of the sun, blocking its light and casting a shadow across the nation.
