On August 12, 2026, a total solar eclipse will be visible from parts of Spain, providing a great opportunity for millions of people to witness this amazing event. Come learn about the eclipse and how to view it safely. As a bonus, the last part of the lecture will be about dark matter, whose gravity holds galaxies and clusters of galaxies together, and especially dark energy, which causes the Universe to expand at an accelerating rate between clusters of galaxies!Alex Filippenko is a Distinguished Professor of Astronomy at the University of California, Berkeley, USA.
