Eclipses have given much to talk about in recent months. In April of last year millions of Americans saw an eclipse whose total concealment path furrowed from south to north the country. Something closer, in March of this year we had a small snack of the row of eclipses that we can see in the coming years. But some eclipses go unnoticed.
A new eclipse. On Sunday there will be a new partial eclipse of Sol. The eclipse will begin approximately At 17:30 UTC7:30 p.m. Spanish peninsular (CEST); and will last almost until 21:54 UTC, or 23:54 Cest. Like other solar eclipses, this occurs on dates close to a lunar, in this case The last day 7 September.
The beginning of the eclipse will be given on Pacific waters, near the Samoa archipelago. While being a partial eclipse there will not be a moment of total concealment, it will be at 19:42 UTC (21:42 CEST) when I know the moment of maximum concealment. According to Explain the National Geographic Institute (IGN), the maximum magnitude of the eclipse will be 0.86, but the inhabited settlements can only see the sun disappear in Something more than 72% of its surface.
As Ign explains, after 264 minutes of eclipse, the sun will shine fully, being the waters of the ocean, near the Antarctic Peninsula the last to see the solar concealment.
The eclipse of the antipodes. Sunday’s eclipse will be almost a tracing that was seen on March 29, only will run through the antipodesthe opposite side of the globe. The partial eclipse will be visible in the islands of New Zealand and other archipelagos of the southern Pacific. Almost “refile” can also be seen on the west coast of Australia, including Sydney and on the island of Tasmania.
A very small fraction of humanity will be the one that this eclipse can see. In addition to those that inhabit the mentioned areas, in Antarctica the eclipse may be seen by those residing in some bases, including the Spanish located in the Southern Shetland Islands.
The areas where the eclipse will be seen are best in the south of New Zealand and in some areas of the Antarctica continent, specifically in the region known as Earth of Oates, as well as in some small archipelagos located in the region.
Waiting for a turn. Meanwhile we are waiting for the three eclipses, two plots and one annular, visible in Spain and part of Europe Between 2026 and 2028. The first of these eclipses will be the August 12 of 2026 and will be a total eclipse. The second will happen on August 2, 2027 and will also be total. The last will be annulled and will arrive on January 26, 2028.
Meanwhile the world will see other eclipses. The following, for example, will arrive February 17 of 2026. It will be annulled but it can also be seen only from the southern hemisphere, with its annular phase only visible from Antarctica. February 7, 2027 an eclipse, also cancel, It will travel part of South America and can be seen partially from much of Africa and southern Spain.
