Eclipseando vs Eclipse 2027

The total solar eclipse of August 12, 2026, town by town: your exact times, and whether it truly goes dark where you'll be. 9,255 towns across Spain, Portugal, Iceland, the UK, Ireland and four more countries, all calculated inside your phone, with no signal. WHAT IT TELLS YOU, IN THREE SECONDS · Whether it goes dark where you are, or only dims. No hedging. · First contact, maximum and end, in local time. · How many seconds totality lasts, if there is any. · How much of the Sun is covered, and how high it will be. DO I NEED TO TRAVEL? HOW FAR? Late in the day, with the Sun low, the Moon's shadow crosses mainland Spain and the Balearics, and half the country is left out. Destinations are ranked by what you gain, not by how close they are. The nearest town with totality usually buys you 12 seconds, which is nothing. From Madrid, El Molar is 28 km away and gets 61. From Seville, the nearest 60 seconds is 422 km away, and the app tells you not to go. STAYING IN MADRID OR BARCELONA? Madrid reaches 99.9%, Barcelona 99.8%, Seville and Málaga 94.7%. It does not go dark there, the corona never appears, and you must not look without a certified filter at any point. The gap between 99.9% and 100% is not 0.1%: it is seeing it or not seeing it. Half of Spain is in that position: 4,065 of its 8,131 towns get only a partial, a median of 99.3% of the Sun covered. And 99.3% is not "almost totality". It is a different thing. NOT IN SPAIN? Iceland, Ireland, the UK, France, Italy, Germany, Portugal and Morocco are in the app too, town by town: total or partial, local time, coverage and Sun height. THE SUN WILL BE VERY LOW. CHOOSE YOUR SPOT A median of 7.1° above the horizon, and under 10° in 7,638 of Spain's 8,131 towns. At that height a three-story building 80 meters away hides the Sun completely. The app gives you that height in degrees for your town, to check against your own horizon with your own eyes. And something almost nobody mentions: in 6,494 towns the eclipse never ends, the Sun sets first. GLASSES AND SAFETY Never look at the Sun without a certified filter. The prompt to take it off appears only where there is totality and only while it lasts long enough to be real. Everywhere else the app says what has to be said: the filter does not come off at any point. THE CAMERA Photos come stamped with your town, the exact time and the percentage of the Sun covered. Video is recorded clean, and to share it the app makes the video card: one frame of your clip with the stamp already on it, instantly. Plus an automatic shutter for the minutes that matter, so you are not staring at a screen when you should be looking up. The filter warning stays in front, always. WHAT USES THE INTERNET, AND WHAT DOES NOT The eclipse does not. Times, map and all 9,255 towns are computed on the device, so a crowded hilltop with a jammed network changes nothing. One single thing needs a connection, and only if you open it: the cloud report, where people tap to say what is overhead and you see what the towns around you report. Nothing else leaves the phone. Your location, if you give it, stays on the device: only the town name is kept, and you can type it by hand. WHAT IS FREE, WHAT IS PAID Free: the times, the duration, the percentage, total or partial here, the filter warnings, the search, the widgets and the camera with its stamp. Pro is a one-time purchase, no subscription: three develop presets made for eclipse light, your totality photos in a single strip, and the option to remove the stamp. FIND YOUR TOWN With its province next to it, because 17 names repeat. And under the names people actually use: type Ibiza, Gerona or San Sebastián and you get Eivissa, Girona and Donostia.

The total solar eclipse of 2 August 2027 — the longest totality on land this century, 6 minutes 23 seconds near Luxor — with your own local times, a map that shows where to stand, a timeline with reminders, and the camera settings for the day. Everything is computed on your phone from NASA's published elements and verified against 55 cities to the second. YOUR SKY Your location or any of 55 cities: in the path or not, first contact to last in your own clock, magnitude, obscuration, the Sun's height at maximum, and a live countdown. The corona disc shows the phase as it happens. THE PATH, WITH YOU ON IT The band of totality drawn on a map from the same elements, the centerline, the point of longest totality, and your pin. Drag it: "38 km NNE to the centerline, 6m 23s there, +2m 40s on what you'd get here." If you're outside the path, how far and which way. TIMELINE Every contact — C1, C2, maximum, C3, C4 — with the Sun's height and direction at each, the totality span, and a reminder toggle per contact. The one alert that always fires, exactly at third contact: glasses back on. CAMERA A starting exposure for the partial phases through a certified solar filter, and a bracket for totality by feature — Baily's beads and the diamond ring, prominences, the inner corona, the outer corona — at your ISO and aperture. How big the Sun is in your frame at your focal length. WHERE Pick a city, drop a pin on the path, or use your exact location. Share your local plan as a card. SAFETY Never look at the partially eclipsed Sun without an ISO 12312-2 filter. Only during totality, only inside the path, from C2 to C3. The app says so where it matters and sets the alarm for C3. Offline except the map's base tiles. No account, no subscription, bought once.
