Times show greatest eclipse in Universal Time (UTC). Exact visibility depends on your location and local horizon.

A calendar built for planning and understanding

  • 20 verified events — Every date, greatest-eclipse time and duration comes from NASA/GSFC eclipse catalogues.
  • Worldwide visibility — Broad visibility regions and the central path of solar eclipses help you plan local observations or travel.
  • Live countdown — The next eclipse automatically moves to the top with the exact time remaining until greatest eclipse.
  • Phone gyroscope sky — On a phone, explore the chosen date for free by moving your device like a personal planetarium.

An eclipse is more than a date. Visibility depends on the exact geometry of the Sun, Earth and Moon and on your position on Earth. This calendar gives you the useful facts without placing the information behind a payment.

Solar versus lunar eclipse

During a solar eclipse, the Moon passes between Earth and the Sun, so its shadow reaches only part of the globe. During a lunar eclipse, Earth moves between the Sun and Moon, and the event can be seen across much of the night side of Earth. That is why a total solar eclipse often requires travel while a lunar eclipse can be shared across continents.

Total, annular, partial and penumbral

A total solar eclipse completely hides the solar disc along a narrow path. An annular eclipse leaves a bright ring because the Moon appears slightly smaller. A partial eclipse covers only part of the Sun or Moon. A penumbral lunar eclipse is subtler: the Moon crosses Earth's outer shadow and dims gently.

Why the calendar uses UTC

NASA publishes global eclipse circumstances in Universal Time to remove time-zone ambiguity. The time shown here is greatest eclipse globally and may differ from the local maximum in your city. Convert UTC to your time zone and confirm that the Sun or Moon is above your horizon.

Turn the observation into a lasting memory

After the eclipse, enter its date, time and your observation place in Starry Memory. The engine recreates the sky from that GPS point with the bright stars, planets, the Sun and Moon. The 3D explorer and phone gyroscope let you revisit the sky orientation; the €3.99 HD poster is optional and never required to use this calendar.

Frequently asked questions about eclipses

What is the next eclipse after August 2026?

The next event in this calendar is the annular solar eclipse on 6 February 2027. Its annular path crosses parts of South America and the South Atlantic, while a partial eclipse covers a wider region.

Which upcoming eclipse is visible from Europe?

The 2 August 2027 total eclipse crosses southern Spain and is partial across much of Europe. The 26 January 2028 annular eclipse also reaches Spain and Portugal. Always check local circumstances for your city.

Can I watch a solar eclipse without glasses?

No, except during the brief total phase when the Sun is completely covered. During every partial or annular phase, use solar viewers compliant with ISO 12312-2. Ordinary sunglasses are unsafe.

Is a lunar eclipse safe to watch?

Yes. Lunar eclipses are safe to view with your eyes, binoculars or a telescope because you are looking at the Moon rather than directly at the Sun.
