Solar Eclipse 2026 in Juneau, United States
Partial August 12, 2026
On August 12, 2026, Juneau will experience a partial solar eclipse with 16.64% of the sun's disc obscured. Maximum eclipse occurs at 08:24 local time, with the sun 23° above the horizon toward the E. While totality won't be reached here, the partial eclipse will be clearly visible with certified eclipse glasses. At only 23° elevation, an obstacle taller than 424 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.
Unlike generic calculators, Heliora shows a 3D sky simulation from Juneau with real terrain — see if mountains or buildings block the low sun during the eclipse
