Eclipse 2026 vs 2027 — how the two compare →

On August 12, 2026, Huelva saw a partial solar eclipse with 93.8% of the sun's disc obscured. Maximum eclipse came at 20:38 local time, with the sun 8° above the horizon toward the west. Totality was not reached from this location. At only 8° elevation, an obstacle taller than 141 m within 1 km was enough to hide the eclipsed sun in that direction, which is why the real terrain horizon decided this eclipse for many observers. Heliora replays the eclipse in 3D from any spot in Huelva, with the real terrain horizon. All times on this page are computed from a precision astronomical engine.
