Star & Planet FinderEclipses›Solar eclipses›January 26, 2028
The Moon passes in front of the Sun while it is too far from the Earth to cover it all: inside a narrow path a ring of sunlight is left around it. Around the path, a much wider part of the world sees a partial eclipse.
Annular along a path across the Pacific, South America, the Atlantic, Africa, Europe and the Mediterranean; partial over South America, North America, Africa, Europe and Greenland.

Times are UTC. A lunar eclipse happens at the same instant everywhere; a solar eclipse reaches each place at its own time, given below.
Of the cities this site covers, these see the annular phase. Times are local to each city.

Looking at the Sun without protection damages the eye, eclipsed or not. Use eclipse glasses or a solar filter made for the purpose (ISO 12312-2) whenever any part of the Sun is showing; sunglasses are not enough. In this eclipse some of the Sun is showing from start to end, everywhere.
With the app
This page tells you when to look. The app tells you again when it matters, and shows you where in your own sky.
Annular along a path across the Pacific, South America, the Atlantic, Africa, Europe and the Mediterranean; partial over South America, North America, Africa, Europe and Greenland.
The Moon’s shadow first touches the Earth at 12:06 UTC and leaves it at 18:08 UTC. The eclipse is at its greatest at 15:07 UTC, over South America. When you see it depends on where you are: each city’s page gives its own times.
At most 10 min 27 s, on the middle of the path over South America, where the path is about 323 km wide. It is shorter towards the edges of the path and towards its two ends.
Of the cities this site covers: Seville (7 min 13 s), Manaus (7 min 13 s), Córdoba (7 min 11 s), Valencia (7 min 00 s), Barcelona (5 min 54 s), Palma (5 min 13 s), Alicante (4 min 59 s), Málaga (4 min 52 s) and 1 more.
Only through eclipse glasses or a solar filter made for the purpose, from the first moment to the last. Some of the Sun is showing throughout, and sunglasses are not enough.
