Annular solar eclipse
The annular solar eclipse of January 26, 2028 will cross the south-eastern half of Spain near sunset.
Main challenge
Low Sun and eye safety
As in 2026, the Sun will be low. Because this is an annular eclipse, there is never a safe phase for naked-eye viewing: the ring of light is still direct Sun.
Main areas
Where it will be seen best
Annularity will affect parts of Andalusia, southern Extremadura, Castile-La Mancha, Murcia, the Valencian Community, part of Madrid, Aragon, Catalonia and the western Balearic Islands.
This page summarizes the event at a regional scale. To choose a specific point, open the simulator and check score, horizon and local trajectory.
