The eclipse will cross the Northern Hemisphere with totality spanning 290km, with maximum duration occurring west of Iceland in the Greenland Sea. The record duration results from the Moon being at perigee while Earth is near aphelion, creating optimal geometric conditions for extended shadow coverage.
August 2026 eclipse will be longest of century at 6+ minutes
