Summary
NASA updated its eclipse gallery with new photos from the 2026 total solar eclipse, highlighting images by headquarters photographers Bill Ingalls and Joel Kowsky.
Spain’s San Millán de los Caballeros produced one standout frame from Ingalls—a composite of the eclipse over sunflowers—during the country’s first total solar eclipse in more than a century.
Kowsky captured an ISS solar transit near Hodgdon, Maine, freezing the station as it crossed the Sun in roughly 0.5 to 1 second while traveling about 5 miles per second.
Another Ingalls image showed solar flares ringing the Moon’s silhouette, underscoring the detail visible in the Sun’s corona during totality.
NASA’s release keeps attention on eclipse photography ahead of the next total eclipse on Aug. 2, 2027, expected to bring 6 minutes 22 seconds of totality.
