I almost signed up for a live-work program for a big music festival happening in Iceland, but the flights (the only thing not covered) were astronomically expensive and I had already made plans with my dad last weekend, and he's getting older so I really didn't want to bail on him.
I would love to sit atop the Rock of Gibraltar (with 47,000 other people) for the next one, Aug 2 2027, but that is likely also a pipe-dream, because NORMAL flights to Gibraltar are already too expensive for me.
I had a colleague who really wanted to see the eclipse but felt bad about taking off from work, so he didn't go. He ended up being laid off within a year. I feel terrible for him. I also learned how important it is to keep perspective on what matters.
I completely forgot about it until a friend asked this morning. Coordinating a DDOS on cameras across Iceland and Spain was not on my to-do list for today.
Fingers crossed it doesn't break for you all - I will be watching it with my own eyes this time.

Thanks for this tho! Didn’t think of checking for cameras!
Solar eclipses happen rarely enough, and frequently enough, to act as milestones in my life: I can review what happened since the previous one, and make a plan for the next one.
They are some of the most magnificent natural phenomena, much more interesting than what's expected.
The only other one that I got to see in perfect conditions was in my home town, Isfahan in 1999. I hope this one is perfectly clear again, and I have some resolutions for the next one.
This units “conversion” earned a chuckle from me…
Enjoy the eclipse!
Super disappointing experience due to the clouds and seeing so many beautiful pictures of totality beforehand.

Any more Spanish HNers (or temporary visitors) who are going to any specific places to see it? :)
As for myself, I'll be watching it from here: https://theeclipse.app/2026-total/maps/default?lng=-3.562706...
So, if you wait 3-4 hours after the eclipse, you'll be able to enjoy a great moonless sky, with plenty of stars, the Milky Way and, hopefully, some Perseids!!
Hoping to be able to see the great eclipse of 2027 live ;-)
The map shows feeds to watch it.
Nice page showing where it will be, with times and visualizations for any point/city.
Means for aljezur portugal we´ll experience a totallity?
How often does this happen? Like, never?

Surprised they don't have a starlink uplink
Truly a transcendent experience: the shadow of the moon rushing across the land toward you, the air suddenly cooling, the sunset horizon in every direction, the ring of the sun's corona surrounding the silhouette of the moon... There's no other natural phenomenon like it, and video/photos truly don't do it justice!
