Summary
A quarter of a century after the unforgettable total solar eclipse of 11.8.1999, the shadow of the moon will return to Europe - three times in a row! On 12 August 2026, 2 August 2027 and 26 January 2028, two total and one annular eclipse will take place in the sky above our continent.
All three events will take place in Spain, the No. 1 vacation destination for the British, and will be visible in well-known tourist destinations such as Mallorca and Andalusia. The authors, both based in Spain for many years, have visited many suitable destinations and provide valuable first-hand tips on observation sites.
The weather outlook for each eclipse is discussed in detail. Detailed topographical maps show the exact route of the eclipse path, and many photos make you want to create your own (astro)tourist program.
This book is an indispensable source of information for anyone who does not want to miss a trip to one of the three eclipses - the next opportunity in Europe will not come until 2053!
