Alt text:

The most rare, top-tier eclipse photo would be the Solar Earth Eclipse, but the Apollo 12 crew’s attempt to capture it was marred by camera shake. They said it looked spectacular, though.

If we’re talking about 12 August 2026, this says it’ll be a total eclipse, in northern Spain at least.

The 2026 one doesn’t pass over much land or near many major population centres, and a lot of Europeans are going to try and see it, so it’s going to be very difficult to go see it, especially if you’re an American.
