On August 12th, 2026, the Moon totally eclipsed the Sun and cast its shadow across Siberia, Greenland, Iceland, Spain, and Portugal. Today’s image features two total solar eclipses viewed from Zaragoza, Spain, one over the Cathedral-Basilica of Our Lady of the Pillar and the other reflecting in the Ebro River. For a few moments, Spain saw its first major total solar eclipse since 1905. Those witnessing totality may experience a chill in the air, the quieting of birds, the confused chirps of insects, and the shared awe of many. It’s the corona’s time to shine as the Sun’s bright disk is blocked by the Moon. Among other reasons to study eclipses, they help scientists understand why the corona is millions of degrees hotter than the Sun’s surface. Enthusiastic citizens can contribute to these studies by recording how wildlife responds, imaging the corona, and monitoring air temperature and clouds.

Me piden mi opinión... Por qué no dice nada de lo de Ceuta, etcétera. Y, bueno. Ya que me preguntan, lo que opino es que en política exterior somos el hazmerreír de Europa, África, Asia, América y Oceanía.
@SeanBrodrick@HumbleFlow I think it’s the Clementinum in Prague. I visited it some time ago. You are not allowed to walk inside. You can look from the entrance and then they have an interactive screen outside where you can zoom in a bit. The globes are really nice.
@HumbleFlow@SeanBrodrick Prague Clementinum, right? I really wanted to walk in there and look closer but, understandably, visitors are only allowed to have a look from the entrance.
La ser ha borrado este vídeo para que no se haga viral en el que sale Javier Ruíz diciendo que lo de los apagones en España era algo imposible.
Ya sabéis que tenéis que hacer.
