ESA Space Weather Office - Eclipse prediction campaign

Total Solar Eclipse 12th of August 2026

Live predictions of the total solar eclipse based on the numerical simulations of the COCONUT coronal model of KU Leuven.

Time-evolving model of the solar corona

Changes in the magnetic structures of the solar corona over the past days. Colours represent the polarity of the coronal magnetic field.

Solar light scattered towards the observers. Bright areas correspond to dense coronal structures extending into space.

Magnetic structures brought in evidence by processing of the coronal simulations.
