Eclipse 2026: Local Times

What time does the August 12, 2026 total solar eclipse start where you are — and will you see totality, or just a partial?

Pick your city and Eclipse 2026 answers both, to the second, in your own local time. On 12 August 2026 the Moon's shadow crosses eastern Greenland, western Iceland and northern Spain, turning day to twilight for everyone in the path of totality — and delivering a deep partial eclipse to the rest of Europe, the Arctic and parts of North America. The app tells you exactly what will happen from your spot, and counts down to the moment.

Choose from 51 cities and get:

- A live countdown. Big, clear digits count down to your next contact — first light, the start of totality, maximum, or the end of the eclipse — updating every second, with the current phase and a Sun-and-Moon coverage dial.

- Your exact local contact times. C1 (partial begins), C2 (totality begins), maximum, C3 (totality ends) and C4 (partial ends), all shown in your city's own local time. Times that fall after the Sun has set are clearly flagged, so you know what you can actually see.

- The numbers that matter. Eclipse magnitude, the percentage of the Sun covered (obscuration), the Sun's altitude at maximum, and — if you are in the path — how long totality lasts.

- A clear in-path answer. Every city is marked "in the path of totality" or "partial only," so you know instantly whether you will see the corona or a crescent Sun.

- A plain-language guide. What C1 through C4 mean, an overview of the path across Greenland, Iceland and Spain, and the key facts of the eclipse.

Built for accuracy: The contact times, magnitudes and obscurations are computed from the official NASA/GSFC Besselian elements for this eclipse (predictions by Fred Espenak) and cross-checked against independent sources; they agree to within a few seconds. The app does no guessing at runtime — it converts fixed, verified instants into your local time.

Your eyes come first: The guide includes clear safe-viewing advice. Never look at the partial phase without certified ISO 12312-2 eclipse glasses or a proper solar filter. Only during totality, and only if you are in the path, is it safe to look with the naked eye.

Honest and private: One-time purchase. No subscription, no ads, no in-app purchases, and no tracking. Works fully offline — there are no network requests of any kind. Everything runs on your device.

Whether you are travelling to northern Spain or Iceland to stand in the Moon's shadow, or watching the partial eclipse from home, Eclipse 2026 makes sure you know exactly when to look.
