Total Solar and Partial Lunar Eclipses Occur in August 2026, Not Visible in India
In August 2026, two eclipses will occur: a total solar eclipse on August 12 and a partial lunar eclipse on August 28. The solar eclipse will be visible across parts of Europe, Greenland, Iceland, and Russia, but not in India, where it will occur during nighttime. Similarly, the lunar eclipse will not be visible in most parts of India, affecting traditional observances like the Sutak period. Both events have drawn interest from astronomers and astrologers, with the latter discussing potential zodiac impacts.
