In the last hour before sunset, the Moon's shadow sweeps low across the Iberian Peninsula — the Sun will hang only a few degrees above the horizon. Tell this page where you'll be standing, and it will time every stage of the eclipse to the second, using NASA's published orbital elements for this exact event.
Pick a town along the path, use your current location, or drop in exact coordinates.

This eclipse happens in the evening, so the Sun will be sitting unusually close to the horizon. Make sure you have a genuinely open, unobstructed view in that direction — trees, buildings, or hills will end your eclipse early.
Contact times are computed directly from Fred Espenak / NASA GSFC's published Besselian elements for the 12 August 2026 eclipse (ΔT = 71.4s), the same base data underlying most eclipse-timing sites. They're accurate to within a few seconds for most locations. If your spot sits within a few kilometres of the edge of the path, small lunar-limb effects this tool doesn't model can be the difference between totality and a very deep partial eclipse — when in doubt, move a little further into the path for a safety margin, and cross-check locally.
