Watch: Total solar eclipse seen from 22,370 miles above Earth

1 hour ago
A total solar eclipse was captured from space by the Meteosat-12 satellite. The eclipse occurred on Aug. 12, 2026, between 20:26 and 20:34 CEST, as parts of the Iberian Peninsula experienced totality. From geostationary orbit 22,370 miles above Earth, Meteosat-12 tracked the Moon's shadow as it swept over Greenland and Iceland, then a small part of northeastern Portugal, and finally Spain.
