Martin and Richie are joined by fellow podcaster and Mallorca resident Ollie Neilson to discuss the much-anticipated total solar eclipse that will sweep across the Balearic Islands on the evening of 12 August 2026.
It's one of the most extraordinary natural events the Balearic Islands will experience in more than a century. In this special episode, Martin, Richie and Ollie cover everything you need to know before looking skywards.
They discuss the science behind the eclipse, the do's and don'ts of safe viewing, what to expect as daylight turns to darkness, the fascinating sights to look out for during totality, and, perhaps most importantly, the best places to watch it. As it turns out, finding the perfect viewing spot isn't quite as straightforward as you might think.
Whether you're a seasoned astronomer or simply curious about this once-in-a-lifetime spectacle, this episode will ensure you're ready for one of the Balearics' most unforgettable evenings.
