Eclipse Times 2026 — Total Solar Eclipse

What it does

Eclipse Times 2026 — Total Solar Eclipse is an interactive web tool for planning and viewing the August 12, 2026 total solar eclipse. It provides a live countdown to totality, an explorable path map, and city-by-city local timing so you can quickly understand what you’ll see from your location across Europe, North Africa, and the North Atlantic.

Use the site in three practical ways. First, follow the countdown and headline timing for when totality begins (with totality first reaching Iceland, then Spain later). Second, browse the interactive eclipse-path map: drag and zoom to explore the track, click city markers to see eclipse coverage and jump to a full set of times for that city. The map distinguishes the path of totality from partial-coverage regions, and indicates the totality band width.

Third, look up exact local circumstances by city. Tables list coverage percentage and the key moments (including maximum eclipse and, where applicable, totality start and duration) with all times shown in local time for each city. The tool clearly separates cities that experience totality (100% coverage) from deep partial locations (e.g., ~90%+) and more moderate partial coverage, helping you set expectations for visibility and darkness.

For viewers in France, Eclipse Times 2026 adds an address-based “see it from your street” feature: enter a French address (or use current location) to run a live 3D simulation showing the eclipse over real surrounding buildings and terrain, and indicating where to look. The simulation incorporates line-of-sight checks against buildings, terrain, and vegetation, and explains what is exact versus approximate.

The site also includes guidance on what you’ll see at different coverage levels and emphasizes eye safety requirements, including the rule that eclipse glasses are only removable during the brief totality window inside the path of totality. Timing and path data are sourced from NASA predictions and timeanddate.com per-city eclipse pages, with additional references provided.
