Frequently asked questions about the eclipse in Eibar

Will the eclipse of August 12, 2026 be visible from Eibar?

Geometrically yes (99.9% obscuration) but the local terrain blocks the Sun before the eclipse ends from Eibar.

What time is the eclipse maximum in Eibar?

Maximum occurs at 20:27 local time (18:27 UTC) in Eibar.

Which direction to look to watch the eclipse from Eibar?

Look WNW (azimuth 283°); the Sun will be 8° above the horizon at maximum from Eibar.

Is Eibar a good place to watch the eclipse?

Eibar is not the best choice: local terrain blocks the Sun before the eclipse ends. Consider a nearby viewpoint with a clear horizon.

Do I need special glasses to watch the eclipse?

Yes, you need ISO 12312-2 certified eclipse glasses during every partial phase. Regular sunglasses do NOT protect. Glasses can only be removed during the totality phase (when the Sun is fully covered); never during annular or partial eclipses. Pages flagged "visible" assume a clear horizon, not a viewing recommendation.
