Chronology

Exact timings for the event sequence on August 12, 2026

  • 19:30

    Partial Begins

    The "Moon bite." The first contact as the moon begins its transit. You must wear solar glasses starting now.
  • 20:30

    Totality Approaches

    Baily's Beads appear. Light becomes eerie and shadows sharpen. The 'Diamond Ring' flashes as totality begins.
  • 20:32

    Maximum Eclipse

    The Corona becomes visible. The sun's outer atmosphere glows. Temperature drops and stars emerge in the daytime sky.
  • 20:33

    Return of Light

    As totality ends and sunlight reappears, immediately put your solar eclipse glasses back on to protect your vision.
  • Es Vedrà

    The most iconic spot on the island. The sun will be low in the sky, creating a mystical silhouette of the rock during totality.

  • Sa Talaia (San José)

    The highest point in Ibiza. Offers an unobstructed 360-degree view, allowing you to see the Moon’s shadow racing across the sea.

  • Cala Comte

    Perfect for a "sunset eclipse." The wide-open western horizon ensures you won’t miss a second as the sun dips toward the water.

  • Santa Gertrudis Fields

    Away from the coastal crowds. A serene rural setting where you can observe how nature and wildlife react to the sudden darkness.

  • Punta de Sa Galera

    A dramatic rocky plateau with natural stone terraces. The open western exposure and elevated position make it ideal for watching the eclipse unfold over the sea, with minimal light pollution and a raw, elemental atmosphere.

  • Cala d’Hort

    Directly facing Es Vedrà. This beach combines easy access with one of the most powerful visual alignments on the island. During totality, the contrast between the darkened sky and the iconic rock creates an unforgettable, almost ceremonial scene.

CRITICAL SAFETY NOTICE

Never look directly at the sun.

Standard sunglasses, polarized lenses, or tinted windows will not protect your retinas from permanent damage.

Only use eclipse glasses that meet the ISO 12312-2 international safety standard. Verify certification before use.

Supervise Children

Children must be closely supervised at all times when viewing. Ensure they keep glasses on throughout observation.

No Optics

Never view the sun through cameras, telescopes, or binoculars without professional solar filters, even while wearing eclipse glasses.

Inspect Lenses

Before each use, inspect eclipse glasses for scratches, punctures, or tears. Discard and replace if any damage is found.
