[Regnum] The first solar eclipse of 2026 has begun on Earth. This was reported on February 17 by the Solar Astronomy Laboratory of the Space Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences and the Institute of Solar-Terrestrial Physics of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences.

According to her data, the Moon's penumbra fell on the planet near Antarctica at around 1:06 PM Moscow time. Later, at around 2:44 PM Moscow time, the Earth's satellite completely aligned with the Sun, forming a giant ring of fire in the sky.

"The first of two solar eclipses this year has begun," the laboratory's Telegram channel reported.
