Sky & Telescope Guided Eclipse Expedition: Expert Astronomy Tour, Spain 2026

Join the world's most respected astronomy magazine on an expert-curated eclipse expedition across Spain. Lectures, star parties, and prime totality positioning make this the intellectual traveller's definitive eclipse experience.

What to expect

Each day of this meticulously planned expedition blends cultural discovery in Northern Spain with pre-eclipse science programming. Evenings feature expert talks on solar physics, eclipse mythology, and photography technique. On eclipse day, your group is positioned at a carefully researched optimal-clarity site, with real-time meteorological guidance. The telescope-equipped viewing area allows guests to project and photograph the corona, Bailey's beads, and chromosphere in extraordinary detail. Post-totality, a celebratory dinner in a historic Spanish venue marks the occasion in style.
