This eclipse has ended — replay it above
Inside the path of totality. For about 1m 51s at 20:27 CEST the Sun's corona blazed around a black Moon, low over the horizon. The first total solar eclipse to cross mainland Europe since 1999, and the first over Spain since 1905. It opened the Spanish "Iberian trio" of 2026, 2027 and 2028.

The path of totality
Live shadowThe dark band is where the Sun vanishes completely — the Moon's umbra races along it south-east at around 2,300 mph, and the glowing marker rides it at the shadow's real-time position. Everywhere else sees a partial. Use the location tool above and your pin drops here.
