Solar Eclipse 2026 in Cergy-Pontoise, France
Partial August 12, 2026
On August 12, 2026, Cergy-Pontoise will experience a partial solar eclipse with 92.02% of the sun's disc obscured. Maximum eclipse occurs at 20:16 local time, with the sun 8° above the horizon toward the WNW. While totality won't be reached here, the partial eclipse will be clearly visible with certified eclipse glasses. At only 8° elevation, an obstacle taller than 141 m within 1 km blocks the eclipsed sun in that direction — use Heliora's 3D sky simulation to check whether mountains, hills, or buildings obstruct the view from your exact spot. All times computed from a precision astronomical engine.
