February 17, 2026, Partial Solar Eclipse
February 17, 2026, a partial solar eclipse, is an upcoming celestial event that has captured the attention of astronomy enthusiasts worldwide. A solar eclipse happens when the moon passes in front of the sun, blocking the light from the sun and casting a shadow on the earth's surface. In a partial solar eclipse, the moon does not completely cover the sun but only partially obscures it. This creates a breathtaking visual display; you can even see the sun's corona, or outer atmosphere, with your own eyes.
The eclipse will begin over the South Pacific Ocean and move southeast toward Antarctica....
