For the first time in over a century — since 1912 — the Iberian Peninsula will become the stage for a rare celestial symphony. From 2025 to 2028, residents and visitors will have the extraordinary opportunity to witness four solar eclipses. This unique astronomical event offers not only a window into the cosmos, but also a powerful reminder of the grandeur of the cosmic order we are all part of.
The Journey Begins — March 29, 2025
The series opens with a partial solar eclipse — a subtle reminder that even shadows can hold beauty.
Darkness at Noon — August 12, 2026 & August 2, 2027
Two total solar eclipses will grace the northern parts of the peninsula.
The 2026 eclipse is especially anticipated, with the totality lasting up to 1 minute and 40 seconds, plunging the world into a mystical stillness and twilight.
Ring of Fire — January 26, 2028
The final annular eclipse will trace a glowing ring of light around the Moon’s dark disk — a spectacle lasting over 7 minutes, leaving a lasting impression on all who witness it.
How to Observe Safely?
Looking directly at the Sun — even during partial or annular phases — can seriously damage your vision.
Astronomers recommend:
Using special solar viewing glasses with certified filters
Creating a pinhole projector to safely project the image onto a surface
Watching the light dance through tree leaves, where shadows become tiny crescent suns
🌌 An Eclipse Is More Than Astronomy
It is a symbol of cycles, change, and the return of light. A reminder of the rhythm of the Universe — where every body knows its place and time. And so do we.
