Summary
Spain is set for a cosmic triple-header on August 12th: a rare total solar eclipse lasting two minutes and eighteen seconds, a planetary alignment before dawn, and the peak of the Perseid meteor shower after sunset—all happening in one unforgettable night sky. This marks the first major eclipse over Spain’s mainland in over a century, with an even more dramatic six-and-a-half-minute eclipse planned for summer 2027. Scientists are deploying balloons and chase planes to capture unprecedented data, while skywatchers can expect dazzling celestial shows that blend science and wonder.
