2026 Partial Solar Eclipse Observations

In March 2026, a partial solar eclipse covered roughly 20 % of the Sun’s disc over Sweden. The event was hosted at a local observatory, which provided H‑alpha‑filtered telescopes and solar‑eclipse glasses for visitors. Media coverage included a TV report on SVT Rapport and an article in Sydsvenska Dagbladet, and the eclipse was streamed on a large indoor projection wall.

In August 2026, Tunisia experienced a deeper partial solar eclipse, with up to 59.3 % of the Sun obscured at sunset. The Cité des sciences de Tunis organized a public viewing at Sidi Mechreg, offering telescopes with certified solar filters and a scientific conference on eclipse mechanics. Attendees were warned to use approved solar‑filter glasses to avoid eye injury.

Both events illustrate how different countries organized public outreach and safety measures around their respective 2026 partial solar eclipses, highlighting variations in coverage, timing, and local engagement.
