One question, answered
From your location to the right patch of sky
The app turns astronomical coordinates into three simple actions.
Allow your location
Your coordinates are used on your device to calculate the eclipse circumstances where you are.

Follow the live AR path to the correct compass bearing and altitude above the horizon.
Watch safely
Arrive with the exact local time and certified eclipse glasses for the partial phases.
Upcoming
Two total eclipses. Two very different horizons.
Start with the rare sunset eclipse across Iceland and northern Spain, then look ahead to 2027.
Total eclipse at sunset
Totality crosses Greenland, Iceland and northern Spain. Across Spain the Sun is unusually low, making an open western horizon essential.
A longer total eclipse
The path crosses southern Spain and North Africa with a higher Sun and up to more than six minutes of totality globally.
Protect your eyes
The eclipse is unforgettable. Eye damage can be permanent.
During every partial phase, look at the Sun only through ISO 12312-2 compliant eclipse glasses or a correctly fitted solar filter.
- Ordinary sunglasses are not safe, regardless of darkness.
- Never look through a camera, telescope or binoculars without a front-mounted solar filter.
- Remove eye protection only during totality, and only if you are inside the path of totality.
The sky will not wait for an app notification.
