## Caption

You’ve seen the eclipse from Earth. Now you’re the one in control 🌚 🌞

Drag through this real sequence from Eumetsat’s MTG-I1 weather satellite, watching from 36 000 km above Europe, and trace the Moon’s shadow as it swept in from the north and raced toward Spain on 12 August 2026, converging with nightfall as dusk caught up with the day.

Millions of us across Europe paused and looked up at the same moment. The Moon slid in front of the Sun. Some saw the sky darken completely, others watched a bite vanish from its edge. Different skies, one shared moment.

Were you part of it?
