Solar Eclipse 2026 in Scicli, Italy
Total August 12, 2026
On August 12, 2026, Scicli will experience a total solar eclipse with 100.00% of the sun's disc obscured. Maximum eclipse occurs at 20:30 local time, with the sun -7° above the horizon toward the WNW. Totality lasts 1m 25s, during which the solar corona and bright stars become visible. At only -7° elevation, an obstacle taller than -123 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.
