What the contact points (C1-C4) mean
A solar eclipse is described by four key moments, the contact points between the discs of the Sun and the Moon:
- C1First contact: the Moon touches the edge of the Sun and the partial eclipse begins.
- C2Second contact: the Moon fully covers the Sun and totality begins.
- C3Third contact: the Sun reappears and totality ends.
- C4Fourth contact: the Moon leaves the Sun's disc and the eclipse ends.
Where the eclipse is only partial, the Moon never fully covers the Sun: only C1 and C4 occur, with no totality in between.

Frequently asked questions about the eclipse in Realejo Alto
Will the eclipse of August 12, 2026 be visible from Realejo Alto?
Geometrically yes (69% obscuration) but the local terrain blocks the Sun before the eclipse ends from Realejo Alto.

Which direction to look to watch the eclipse from Realejo Alto?
Look West (azimuth 281°); the Sun will be 11° above the horizon at maximum from Realejo Alto.
Is Realejo Alto a good place to watch the eclipse?
Realejo Alto 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.
