الكسوف الحلقي للشمس في 26 يناير 2028 - خريطة تفاعلية ثلاثية الأبعاد

The path of annularity crosses the Galápagos Islands, northern Peru (including Iquitos), northern Brazil (including Manaus), French Guiana, Suriname, then the Atlantic to Madeira, southern Portugal (the Algarve), and southern and eastern Spain — Seville, Málaga, Valencia, and the Balearics — ending at sunset near the Mediterranean. A partial eclipse is visible across most of South America, the Caribbean, the eastern United States, West Africa, and western Europe.

In a total eclipse the Moon covers the sun completely and the corona appears. In an annular eclipse the Moon is farther from Earth, so it looks slightly smaller than the sun and a bright ring — the 'ring of fire' — remains visible around it. The sky dims dramatically, but there is no corona and no moment when protection can come off.

The maximum is 10 minutes 27 seconds at greatest eclipse over northern Brazil — one of the longest annular phases of the century. On the path: Iquitos ~8m 38s, Manaus ~7m 14s, Camopi ~9m 26s, Funchal ~7m 00s, Faro ~7m 01s, Seville ~7m 15s, and Valencia ~7m 02s right at sunset.

It depends on your location — the shadow takes almost four hours to travel from the Pacific to Spain. Search your city or tap your location on the map above to get exact local times for the start, maximum, and end of the eclipse, computed from NASA's eclipse elements.

Yes — for every second of it. Unlike a total eclipse, an annular eclipse has no safe naked-eye phase: part of the sun's surface is always exposed. ISO 12312-2 certified eclipse glasses (or a proper solar filter) are required for the entire event, including maximum ring.

Contact times are computed from NASA GSFC's published Besselian elements (Fred Espenak's predictions) and are typically accurate to within a few seconds. Local terrain and your exact horizon are not modeled, so the low sunset sun over Spain may disappear behind hills slightly earlier than the math says.
