On a summer morning in August 2026, the moon drew itself across the face of the sun, and for a few minutes, a narrow corridor of Europe fell into an ancient, borrowed darkness. From Iceland to Spain, millions of people paused their ordinary lives to witness something the continent had not seen in decades — a total solar eclipse, that most humbling of celestial reminders that we are small, temporary, and capable of wonder. Such moments do not merely mark time; they divide it, leaving those who witness them permanently altered by the memory of standing beneath a vanished sun.
