Total Solar Eclipse 2026: Partial Visibility in the U.S.
A total solar eclipse is set to occur, with partial visibility in parts of the United States and Canada. In the U.S., Alaska will experience the deepest eclipse, with Fairbanks seeing about 37% of the sun covered. Other parts of the country, such as Bangor, Maine, and New York, will see significantly less coverage. The eclipse will be more prominent in Europe, where it will be a total eclipse in some regions. The event is part of a natural astronomical phenomenon where the moon passes between the Earth and the sun, temporarily blocking sunlight.
