A partial lunar eclipse will be visible across Spain on Aug. 28, 2026, according to reporting from El Mundo. The event will require no special equipment and poses no risk to observers.
The announcement follows a total solar eclipse on Aug. 12, 2026, which darkened skies over parts of Europe, including northern and central Spain, Greenland, Iceland, Portugal, and Russia. NASA noted the eclipse’s path of totality crossed Siberia, Greenland, Iceland, Spain, and Portugal, with images from Zaragoza capturing the phenomenon over the Cathedral-Basílica de Nuestra Señora del Pilar and its reflection in the Ebro River .
Spain’s next total solar eclipse is scheduled for Aug. 2, 2027, with a duration of up to 6 minutes and 23 seconds in some locations, according to the Romanian publication Adevărul and Spain’s Instituto Geográfico Nacional. The 2027 event, dubbed the “eclipse of the century,” will traverse the Strait of Gibraltar, covering Ceuta, Melilla, most of Cádiz, much of Málaga, and southern Granada and Almería. In Ceuta, totality will last 4 minutes and 48 seconds, while in Melilla it will last 4 minutes and 34 seconds, per the IGN .
The 2027 eclipse will begin in the Atlantic at 07:30 GMT and end over the Indian Ocean at 14:43 GMT, with its path also crossing North Africa, the Middle East, and the Arabian Peninsula. In Spain, the eclipse will occur around 10:50 local time, with the sun’s elevation aiding visibility .
A subsequent annular solar eclipse is set for Jan. 26, 2028, with a maximum duration of 10 minutes and 27 seconds over Brazil, according to Digi24. The annular phase will begin in the Pacific, cross South America, and end in Spain .
