In August 2026, the moon's shadow swept across Europe for the first time in nearly three decades with such totality, drawing millions into the streets and newsrooms into a frenzy of documentation.

The eclipse itself obeyed only mathematics, yet the response it summoned was entirely, irreducibly human.
