Surya Grahan 2026: Year’s Second and Final Solar Eclipse to Occur Today

The second and final solar eclipse of 2026 is set to take place today, August 12. Unlike an ordinary solar eclipse, this will be a total solar eclipse, during which the Moon will completely cover the Sun for a brief period. As the Moon passes directly between the Earth and the Sun, areas from where the eclipse is visible are expected to experience a brief period of darkness during the daytime. The celestial event is likely to attract significant attention among skywatchers. However, people in India will not be able to witness the solar eclipse directly, as the event will not be visible from the country. According to the available information, the total solar eclipse will be visible from Greenland, Iceland, the Atlantic Ocean, France, Britain, most parts of Europe and Canada. The second and final solar eclipse of 2026 is occurring on Hariyali Amavasya. The rare celestial phenomenon taking place on this day has generated interest among people and astronomy enthusiasts. With this event, the second and final solar eclipse of the year will mark one of the significant astronomical occurrences of 2026.
