About
When is the next solar eclipse visible where you live, and where in the sky should you look? Solar calculates every solar and lunar eclipse precisely for your location, along with meteor showers, close encounters of the Moon and planets, and passes of the ISS. Contact times to the second, Sun altitude and direction. Everything is calculated right on your device.
EVERYTHING ON ONE TIMELINE
• Solar eclipses: total, annular, partial and hybrid
• Lunar eclipses: total, partial and penumbral
• Meteor showers such as the Perseids and Geminids
• Close encounters of the Moon and planets
• Visible passes of the ISS and Tiangong
FILTER WHAT INTERESTS YOU
Each of the five event types can be shown or hidden on its own. See only the events for your city or browse sky events around the world.
EVERY ECLIPSE IN DETAIL
• Start, maximum and end in local time, with magnitude and obscuration
• Sun altitude and direction at every moment, with a warning when it is close to the horizon
• Progress chart, Saros series and earlier and later "siblings"
• Location comparison: where is the eclipse best seen?
SHADOW AND LIGHT AT A GLANCE
Watch the Moon's shadow travel across the map along a timeline.
The light pollution map shows the best spots for a dark, starry sky.
The dark design protects your night vision so your eyes stay adapted to the dark.
WEATHER, COMPASS AND PHOTOGRAPHY
• Cloud outlook for upcoming dates
• Compass pointing to the Sun, Moon and ISS
• Photo tips with exposure values based on Fred Espenak, plus a photo simulation
NEVER MISS A THING
Get reminders on your own schedule: a week before, a day before, in the morning or five hours ahead. Plus alerts at the start, maximum and end.
Add any eclipse to your calendar with a single tap. Widgets and Live Activities show the event on your Lock Screen or your Apple Watch.
ACCURATE AND PRIVATE
Solar uses the Besselian elements from NASA's Five Millennium Canon (Espenak and Meeus), from 1999 BC to AD 3000. All calculations run completely offline. There is no account, no advertising and no tracking. Your location only leaves the device for the weather forecast, without any name or account attached.
Whether it's the great solar eclipse of August 2, 2027 over southern Spain and North Africa or the next blood moon right outside your door: with Solar you know when, where and which way to look.
