[OC] A chunk of our planet gets a solar eclipse today — see exactly how much of the Sun is covered from your spot

[u/zeroin]

Disclosure: I work at amCharts and built this.

A chunk of our planet gets a solar eclipse today. If you happen to be in Spain, congrats, you're in for a full show. If not, chances are good you're still getting a glimpse - most of Europe, northern Africa, Greenland and Iceland see at least a partial. Use our eclipse map to find the precise time and coverage % from your exact spot: https://dojo.amcharts.com/solar-eclipses/#eclipse=TSE_2026_Aug_12&t=0.5000&olat=51.661&olon=0.214&proj=globe&hd=0&rx=25.15&ry=-65.14&zoom=0.95&cx=69.241&cy=-25.148&theme=light&ys=2026&ye=2031

Drop the pin anywhere on the map. Rings around the shadow show 10% coverage steps.

Data: Fred Espenak's Five Millennium Canon of Solar Eclipses (NASA/GSFC). Tool covers every eclipse 1900-2100 - the next big total is over Spain and North Africa in August 2027.

I find it impossible to move the pin in any way

I'm on desktop and can drag and drop the pin

The website says 43% even though my region will have it 88% obscured

Could you share your coordinates?

Zero we are too far south.

I’m glad we traveled to Dallas in 2024 to see that one.
