Thank you to everyone, institutions, municipalities, public bodies and organisations that contributed to its preparation, outreach and development.
This website remains available as an archive of information, resources and documentation from Eclipse Asturias 2026.
A total eclipse occurs when the Moon moves between the Earth and the Sun and completely blocks it for a short time. Within the path of totality, the sky darkens and the solar corona can be seen (only during totality).
It is a narrow band of land, generally around 100–250 km wide, where the Moon completely covers the Sun during a solar eclipse. Outside this band, only a partial eclipse is visible: the Moon will not completely cover the Sun. Within the path of totality, you will experience sudden darkness and a unique visual and atmospheric experience.
