Surya Grahan 2026: The year 2026 has been very special so far in terms of astronomical events. One solar and one lunar eclipse has occurred this year. The solar eclipse occurred on the new moon day on 17th February. The lunar eclipse occurred on Phalgun Purnima on March 03. Now astronomers and astrologers are keeping an eye on the second solar eclipse of the year. In this solar eclipse the Sun will be completely covered by the Moon.
Due to this, the affected areas will become dark during the day. Science is considering this as a rare and exciting opportunity. This will be a long solar eclipse. In such a situation, let us know when the second solar eclipse of the year will occur and in which countries it will be visible?
When will the second solar eclipse of the year occur?
This second solar eclipse of the year will start at 9:04 pm on August 12, 2026. This eclipse will end at 4:25 am the next day i.e. on 13 August 2026. This will be a ‘Kankanakriti’ solar eclipse. During such an eclipse the Sun appears like a shining ring.
Will not be seen in India
This solar eclipse will not be visible in India. Because at the time when the Sun will be eclipsed, it will be night time in India. In such a situation, even the sutak of this solar eclipse will not be valid in India. Because according to religious beliefs, the effect of Sutak period, which starts 12 hours before the solar eclipse, is visible only when the eclipse is visible. In such a situation, temples and daily work will continue normally in India during the solar eclipse.
The sight will be seen in these countries
This solar eclipse will be visible mainly in the northern and western parts of the Earth. This solar eclipse will be completely visible in the Arctic, Greenland, Iceland, Atlantic Ocean and Northern Spain.
