Eclipse 12 Aug 2026
Score 63/ 100
Full totality visible
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.

Score 50/ 100
Eclipse visible
The Sun will be 37-41° high, so terrain almost never blocks it: what decides is being inside the path, not the viewpoint's horizon.
