Frequently asked questions
When is the next total eclipse visible from Spain?
On August 12, 2026 at sunset. It will be the first total eclipse visible from peninsular Spain since 1905. The path of totality crosses the north and centre-east. Another, longer total comes on August 2, 2027, and an annular eclipse on January 26, 2028 in the southeast.
How is eclipses.app different from other eclipse apps?
We compute visibility against the real terrain horizon, not the geometric horizon. We use the Copernicus 30m digital elevation model: if a mountain blocks the Sun at the end of totality, the verdict reflects it. It's the difference between knowing «in theory you'll see it» and knowing «from your exact spot, you will or won't».
Do I need special glasses to view the eclipse?
Yes, during the entire partial phase. Only ISO 12312-2 certified glasses are safe: regular sunglasses are NOT enough, nor looking through cameras, binoculars or telescopes without a solar filter. Only during the few minutes of totality can you look with the naked eye — but that moment only happens if you are inside the path of totality.
Can I see the eclipse from my city?
It depends on your latitude and your local western horizon. Open the simulator with your location: we tell you whether the Sun will be above the terrain during the critical contact, the percentage of the solar disc that will be obscured, and at what time. For August 12, 2026 the eclipse will be at least partial from anywhere in Spain.
Why does the real horizon (terrain) matter?
On August 12, 2026, the Sun will be only a few degrees above the horizon when totality happens. A 200m hill a few kilometres away is enough to block it. Computing against the real terrain avoids the classic mistake of planning a trip and discovering on the day that your spot has a ridge to the west.
Is the app free?
Yes, the simulator with per-location visibility is free and no signup is required. Paid plans (PRO Traveler €6.99, PRO Photographer €14.99, PRO Astronomy €14.99, Eclipse Pass €24.99) add alerts, exports, technical data and advanced tools. One-time payment, no subscription, 14-day refund.
