On Wednesday 12th August 2026 - 'Eclipse Day' - Carl Munson’s Good Morning Portugal! news highlights the rare solar eclipse and the spotlight it is shining on Portugal’s growing astro-tourism sector, with thousands preparing to view the event and the country positioning itself as a year-round destination for stargazers.
