Please note: This book is written in German!The Complete Guide to the European Total Eclipses on 12 August 2026 & 2 August 2027
Two spectacular celestial events are heading our way – and you'll want to be ready!

Even beyond the path of totality, there's plenty to see: a partial solar eclipse will be visible across much of Europe – with the UK, for example, enjoying an impressive coverage of around 90% in 2026, and still around 40% in 2027.
