course

The zone of annular eclipse sweeps the Galapagos Islands before it reaches the coast of South America. On the way to the Atlantic, the south of Ecuador , the north of Peru and the northern Amazon basin as well as the south of French Guiana are covered. The extreme south of Suriname is also in the ring-shaped zone.

In the Atlantic, the Madeira archipelago lies on the path of the moon's shadow.

Finally, when the sun is low, the zone of the ring-shaped eclipse crosses the Iberian Peninsula - first the south of Portugal , then Spain . In Ibiza the sun sets almost exactly at the end of the ring shape. Only the extreme west of Mallorca can still experience the setting of the ring-shaped, darkened sun over the sea.

For Spain, this solar eclipse is after the eclipses of August 12, 2026 and August 2, 2027, the last of a series of three eclipses in a very short time and the second of three annular solar eclipses in the 21st century.
