European Total Solar Eclipse 12 Aug

[Mitche]

There is a total solar eclipse occuring tomorrow, 12 Aug. Local times for it are:

Starts 10:34 am CDT
Total (start) 11:58 am CDT
Maximum 12:46 pm CDT
Total (end) 1:34 pm CDT
Ends 2:57 pm CDT

While OKC is far outside the path of totality, or even partial totality, thanks to our modern technology you can still view it live. A couple of live streams I’ve found are at:

From Collado Mediano, Spain:

TOTAL SOLAR ECLIPSE 2026 — LIVE with Vaonis from Collado Mediano, Spain

From León, Spain:

I’m sure there will be lots of live streams available, but these are from a couple of reliable sources and you don’t have to surf around to find one.

I got those times from timeanddate.com, but they’re obviously off. That might have been for Iceland (where it was cloudy).

Totality is about 5 minutes away in Spain, depending where you are.

Watched on YouTube live stream. Reminded me of OKC event a couple of years ago. Thank you for the link.

Here is a picture from Nick Williams of the Partial Solar Eclipse from England. He visited OKC and came out to the Clubs Partial Lunar Eclipse. He used a William Optics 71ED & Canon DSLR.
