The DiscoverWestman article, published on January 11, 2026, features astronomy enthusiast Kenton Dyck from the Pembina Valley Astro Club, who shared insights into the significant celestial events anticipated for 2026. The year began with a "Super Wolf Moon" in January, followed by a "Snow Moon" in February, both offering enhanced lunar visibility. Stargazers can look forward to multiple meteor showers throughout the year, including the Quadrantids in early January, the Lyrids in April, the Eta Aquarids in May, the Perseids in August, the Orionids in October, and the highly anticipated Geminids in December, often considered the year's most prolific shower. Key eclipse events for 2026 include an annular solar eclipse on February 17, primarily visible from Antarctica and parts of the Southern Hemisphere. A total lunar eclipse will grace the skies on March 3, offering a "Blood Moon" spectacle visible across Asia, Australia, and North and South America, as well as parts of the Atlantic and Indian Oceans. For an Indian audience, this lunar eclipse is a particularly relevant viewing event. The most anticipated event is the total solar eclipse on August 12, traversing a path over the Arctic, Greenland, Iceland, and northern Spain, with partial views extending across much of Europe and northern North America. Dyck noted that while a partial solar eclipse would be visible in Canada, a total solar eclipse would not occur near his local area of Pembina Valley. Additionally, a partial lunar eclipse is expected on August 28. Enthusiasts will also have excellent opportunities to view bright planets like Jupiter and Saturn in the springtime, with Jupiter having been at opposition in early January. This comprehensive overview highlights 2026 as a remarkable year for skywatching globally.
