2026年唯一一次日全食将于周三在北半球部分地区的路径上带来白昼变暗,届时人们将翘首以盼仰望天空。
首先,如果你从未有机会观测日食,你将看到的是月球从太阳前方掠过。这种现象大约每18个月在地球某处发生一次,但在地球上任何一个特定地点,两次日食之间可能相隔数百年。
以下是关于何时何地可以观测到本次日全食的相关信息:
日全食将在何处可见?
许多最佳的全食观测点都无人居住,比如格陵兰岛北部。但冰岛西部和西班牙北部也位于全食带内,可以体验最佳的日食景观。
西班牙上一次观测到日全食还要追溯到1905年。
美国国家航空航天局(NASA)的这段动画展示了本次日食的全食带路径,以及日食经过各区域的时间:

尽管全食仅在少数人口聚居区可见,但日偏食的可见范围要广泛得多。根据哥伦比亚大学国际地球科学信息网络中心的人口数据,约有2.3亿人能够看到90%的日面遮挡效果。
欧洲大多数主要城市都至少能看到90%的日面遮挡,包括马德里、伦敦和巴黎。
北美部分地区也有机会看到日偏食,不过其壮观程度远不及2024年美国境内的日全食。在美国,最佳观测点是阿拉斯加州费尔班克斯,那里的日面遮挡率将达到37%。
波士顿的日面遮挡率为16%,纽约市约为9%,多伦多约为8%,费城则为7%。
日食将在何时发生?
由于日食仅经过地球北部区域,全食带的全程时长相对较短,约为1小时45分钟。
本次日全食最早将于协调世界时17:00,即美国东部时间下午1点,在俄罗斯最北部地区可见。
到美国东部时间下午1:30,日食将抵达格陵兰岛东北部,下午1:45左右抵达冰岛西部(雷克雅未克当地时间下午5:48达到全食峰值)。
在横跨北大西洋45分钟的行程中——英国的观测效果最佳,伦敦将在东部时间下午2:13(当地时间晚上7:13)达到91%的日面遮挡峰值——之后,全食将于东部时间下午2:30左右抵达西班牙北部(巴伦西亚当地时间晚上8:32达到全食峰值)。
整个全食带的观测将在东部时间下午2:45前全部结束。

对于北美看到日偏食的民众来说,多伦多的最大遮挡将出现在当地时间下午1:40,纽约市则在下午1:54。在费尔班克斯,你需要早起才能在当地时间早上8:27看到本次日食的最大遮挡效果。
我该如何现场观测日食?
如果你有幸身处能看到日全食的区域,全食阶段将持续约两分钟。
在观测期间,你需要佩戴日食专用眼镜,以保护视网膜不受太阳损伤。当达到全食阶段时,你可以摘下眼镜观赏这两分钟的景观。
如果你不在全食带内,但至少能看到日偏食,那么在整个观测过程中都必须佩戴专用眼镜,以免损伤眼睛。

美国下一次日全食在何时?
如果欧洲的这场日全食让你对美国境内的下一次日食充满期待,那你还需要等待一段时间。
美国境内的下一次日全食将在2044年,但仅在蒙大拿州、北达科他州和南达科他州三个州可见。
次年,也就是2045年,将有另一场日全食在多个州可见,其轨迹将从海岸横跨至另一海岸。日食将从北加州开始,呈弧形向东移动,最终在佛罗里达州结束,与2017年的日食类似。届时将有众多美国城市可供日食爱好者观测,包括内华达州里诺、科罗拉多斯普林斯、俄克拉荷马州塔尔萨、阿肯色州小石城、密西西比州杰克逊以及佛罗里达州奥兰多。
2052年还将有一场日食掠过美国东南部,包括佛罗里达州、佐治亚州和南卡罗来纳州。
如果想要在美国东北部看到日全食,你则需要一直等到2079年5月1日。

2026’s only total solar eclipse happens tomorrow. Here’s the path and times of visibility.
August 11, 2026 / 2:51 PM EDT / CBS News
By Mark Osborne
The only total solar eclipse of 2026 will have people looking to the skies as darkness falls on its path across part of the Northern Hemisphere on Wednesday.
First, if you’ve never had the opportunity to see a solar eclipse, what you are watching is the moon passing in front of the sun. It occurs somewhere on Earth about every 18 months, but in any one particular spot on the globe they could happen hundreds of years apart.
Here’s what to know about when and where to see the total solar eclipse:
Where will the solar eclipse be visible?
Many of the best places to view totality are not inhabited, like northern Greenland. But western Iceland and northern Spain are also on the path of totality for a peak eclipse experience.
In Spain, they have not experienced a total solar eclipse since 1905.
This animation from NASA shows the path of totality for the eclipse, along with the time when it will cross those areas:
Even though totality will be visible in only a few populated regions, a partial solar eclipse will be visible in a much wider area. About 230 million people will be able to see 90% totality, according to population data from the Center for International Earth Science Information Network at Columbia University.
Most major cities in Europe will see at least 90% totality, including Madrid, London and Paris.
Even some of North America will get a chance to see a partial solar eclipse, though it won’t be nearly as impressive as when the U.S. got to see a total eclipse in 2024. The best place to see it in the U.S. is in Fairbanks, Alaska, where it will reach 37% totality.
Boston will see 16% totality, while New York City will see about 9% totality, Toronto will see about 8% and Philadelphia will see 7%.
What time will the eclipse happen?
Since the eclipse is crossing just the northern part of the globe, the path of totality will be fairly short from start to finish, about an hour and 45 minutes.
The total eclipse will first become visible in extreme northern Russia at 17:00 UTC, which is 1 p.m. Eastern time.
It will reach northeast Greenland by 1:30 p.m. ET and western Iceland by about 1:45 p.m. ET (totality will be at exactly 5:48 p.m. local time in Reykjavík).
After crossing the northern Atlantic for 45 minutes — when it will be best visible in the U.K., with London reaching its max of 91% at 2:13 p.m. ET (7:13 p.m. local time) — totality will reach northern Spain at about 2:30 p.m. ET (exactly 8:32 p.m. local time in Valencia).
The whole path will be over by 2:45 p.m. ET.

For those in North America seeing a partial eclipse, it will be most full in Toronto at 1:40 p.m. and New York City at 1:54 p.m. local time. In Fairbanks, you will need to get up early to see its fullest point at 8:27 a.m. local time.
How do I watch the eclipse in person?
If you are lucky enough to be in one of the locations where the solar eclipse reaches totality, it will last for about two minutes.
You will need to wear solar eclipse glasses to safely view the sun during the event to protect your retinas from damage. You can take your glasses off for that two minutes when it’s at totality.
If you’re outside the path of totality but lucky enough to at least get a partial eclipse, you’ll have to leave those glasses on the whole time to avoid eye damage.

When is the next total solar eclipse in the U.S.?
If hearing about the total solar eclipse in Europe gets you excited for the next one in the U.S., you have some time to wait.
The next total solar eclipse over the U.S. will be in 2044, but that one will only be visible in three states: Montana, North Dakota and South Dakota.
The next year, there will be another opportunity visible in many states as it moves from coast to coast. The eclipse will start in Northern California and move in an arc towards the east, ending in Florida, similar to one in 2017. There will be numerous U.S. cities where eclipse watchers can view the total eclipse, including Reno, Nevada; Colorado Springs; Tulsa, Oklahoma; Little Rock, Arkansas; Jackson, Mississippi; and Orlando, Florida.
There will be another in 2052 that crosses the Southeast, including Florida, Georgia and South Carolina.
To see a total eclipse in the northeastern U.S., you’ll have to wait all the way until May 1, 2079.
