Ngomhla we-12 kweyeThupha ngo-2026, kwabonwa ukufiphala kwelanga ngokupheleleyo kwiNtla yeHlabathi kulo lonke elaseGreenland, eIceland, emantla eRashiya, kuLwandlekazi lweAtlantiki, eSpain, nakwikona encinci yasePortugal. Ukufiphala kwelanga okuncinci kwabonwa kwiindawo ezininzi kulo mmandla, kuquka iindawo ezikumntla we-US (ukusuka eAlaska ukuya eMntla Carolina), uninzi lweKhanada, uninzi lwaseYurophu, kunye nomntla-ntshona we-Afrika. Ukufiphala kwelanga kwabonwa kwicala lasentshona lendlela yokufiphala kwelanga (kwilizwekazi laseYurophu naseAfrika), apho ilanga litshona ngelixa ilanga lisafiphala kancinci.
Ukuphela kwelanga ngokupheleleyo kwenzeke ngomhla wesi-8 ku-Epreli 2024. Indlela yalo yokuphelela yanwenwela eMntla Melika, inika izigidi zabantu kulo mmandla ithuba lokubona i-corona yeLanga. Isiganeko samva nje sasinqunyelwe kwiindawo ezithile kwiNyakatho yeHlabathi. Isithunzi seNyanga saqala sawela iArctic Circle sisuka emantla eRashiya saza salandela kwicala elingasempuma leGreenland. E-Iceland, ukuphela kwelanga kwaqala malunga nentsimbi yesi-5:45 emva kwemini ngexesha lendawo.
Ukuphela kwelanga kubonwa xa iLanga, iNyanga, kunye noMhlaba zihambelana kwaye iNyanga ifika phambi kweLanga iphosa isithunzi sayo eMhlabeni. Ukuphela kwelanga okupheleleyo kubonwa embindini wesithunzi seNyanga eMhlabeni.
Kwingingqi yaseCatalonia, ukufiphala kwelanga ngokupheleleyo ngomhla we-12 Agasti 2026, okwajika imini yaba bubusuku okwethutyana, yayiyinto eyenzeka kanye ebomini emva kweminyaka eyi-121.
Ukuphela kwelanga okupheleleyo kunika umfanekiso omnye we-corona yelanga. Kubonelela ngethuba lokufunda iimpawu kwi-corona ephantsi kufutshane nomphezulu welanga ukuze kuvavanywe izakhiwo ze-coronal kunye nokuvavanya iimodeli ze-coronal.
I-COCONUT (COolfluid COroNal UnsTructured) yimodeli yanamhlanje, enemilinganiselo emithathu yehlabathi ye-Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) coronal simulation. Iphinda i-physics ye-solar corona kwaye isebenza njengesiseko sokubikezela imozulu yesizukulwana esilandelayo. Yasetyenziselwa ukuqikelela ukufiphala kwelanga okupheleleyo ngo-Epreli 2024 kunye nokufiphala kwelanga okupheleleyo kwamva nje nge-12 Agasti 2026. Imifanekiso esemgangathweni ophezulu ethathwe kwi-total eclipse ka-2026 iya kusetyenziselwa ukuqinisekisa uqikelelo lwemodeli ye-COCONUT.

, most of Canada, much of Europe, and north-western Africa. A sunset eclipse was observed along the western part of the eclipse path (in mainland Europe and Africa), where Sun set while the Sun was still partially eclipsed.){kind=link}
