Solar Eclipse 2026 LIVE Updates: Will Surya Grahan be visible in India? Check visibility in other countries
Solar Eclipse 2026 LIVE Updates: A total solar eclipse, also known as Surya Grahan in India, is a major event. However, regions like India won't be able to witness the event as the path does not reach to the location.
The Total Solar Eclipse of 2026 is set to occur on Wednesday, casting daytime darkness over parts of the Northern Hemisphere. This rare event, also known as Surya Grahan in India, will not be visible in India as the eclipse path does not reach the country. Global timings indicate that the eclipse will start at 3:34 PM UTC and end by 7:58 PM UTC, peaking at 5:46 PM UTC.
While India's residents cannot witness the eclipse in person, they can view it online through live broadcasts from NASA and other space observatories. Safety precautions are important when viewing the partial eclipse; certified solar glasses are essential, as regular sunglasses, binoculars, and unfiltered cameras can cause severe eye injury.
Hotels in Reykjavík, Iceland’s capital, have seen prices surge to over $1,000 for Wednesday night as tourists flock to witness the rare total solar eclipse, marking Iceland’s first total solar eclipse in Reykjavík since 1433.
