Solar Eclipse 2026 in Misilmeri, Italy
Total August 12, 2026
On August 12, 2026, Misilmeri will experience a total solar eclipse with 100.00% of the sun's disc obscured. Maximum eclipse occurs at 20:29 local time, with the sun -5° above the horizon toward the WNW. Totality lasts 40s, during which the solar corona and bright stars become visible. At only -5° elevation, an obstacle taller than -87 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.
