Total solar eclipses, corona and all
Set a location on Earth and move the clock through an eclipse. The relative sizes of the Sun and Moon determine whether the view is partial, annular, or total. Switch to space to follow the Moon's shadow across Earth.
Lunar eclipses & the blood moon
For a lunar eclipse, the model shows Earth's umbra moving across the Moon and the red color seen during totality. Timing is calculated for the location you choose.
Finding the next eclipse
Eclipses are calculated from ephemeris data. Jump to the next solar or lunar eclipse visible from your location, or choose a past event.
The next great eclipses
First, August 28, 2026, a deep partial lunar eclipse: Earth's shadow covers 96.6% of the full Moon, visible from the Americas, Europe, Africa and the eastern Pacific, with moonrise-aware local times for your city. Then February 6, 2027, Argentina & West Africa: an annular "ring" eclipse, with the ring lasting over 7 minutes on the Argentine coast. And August 2, 2027, Spain, North Africa & Egypt: the longest totality on land this century, 6m 23s near Luxor. Looking back, August 12, 2026, Iceland & Spain was the first totality over mainland Europe since 1999; the page and its 3D replay remain available.
