A video of the solar eclipse on August 12, 2026. Spain, Teruel. Javalambre Astrophysical Observatory (1,957 meters above sea level).

This is how solar prominences were discovered. This is how the Sun's white corona was discovered (incidentally, this is the only way to see it from Earth). This is the reason why, year after year, some people travel to some of the world's most unusual locations—from tiny, remote islands in the Pacific to the icy wastes of Antarctica. Simply because no video can capture the experience of witnessing the black Sun in the sky with your own eyes.

For those who prefer not to wait, here is a video sped up 3x (3 MB) — link.
