Solar Eclipses

Viewing today's solar eclipse from Atlantic Cape was pretty exciting. About 84.5% of the sun was covered in Cape May, 84.1% at the Atlantic City campus, and about 86.2% in Mays Landing. This got me thinking about future eclipses, when and where. NASA has it all figured out. On August 12, 2026, there will be a solar eclipse, with the best locations being Greenland, Iceland, Spain, Russia, and a small area of Portugal. So if today was thrilling, imagine experiencing it with 100% coverage in one of those locations!
