Total solar eclipse of 12 August 2026
The Moon’s shadow crosses the Arctic, Greenland, Iceland and northern Spain before ending over the Mediterranean. Eclipse Atlas calculates what happens at the exact place you choose.
Interactive mapWhere the path goes
Only places inside the narrow path of totality experience the Sun’s bright surface becoming completely covered. Nearby places can reach 99% or more and still experience a partial eclipse.
Why every location has a different time
The shadow moves across Earth, so maximum eclipse, duration and coverage change with coordinates. Times on Eclipse Atlas are shown in the selected location’s civil time zone.
A sunset eclipse in Spain
Across Spain the eclipse occurs late in the day. A clear view toward the western horizon matters as much as being inside the path.
