How It Works

The same geometry astronomers use, run in your browser.

1

Find the eclipses

The tracker searches the next 10 years for every alignment of the Sun, Moon and Earth, and classifies each as total, annular, partial or penumbral.

2

Map the shadow

For solar eclipses it tracks where the Moon's shadow falls across Earth minute by minute: how much of the Sun is covered at each point (orange) and the narrow path where the Moon covers it completely or leaves a ring (white). For lunar eclipses it shows the half of Earth where the Moon is up.

3

Get your local times

Choose a city to see when each phase begins and ends in your time zone, how high the Sun or Moon will be, and whether any part of the eclipse happens below your horizon.

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the next solar eclipse?
The next solar eclipse is an annular (ring of fire) eclipse on February 6, 2027. Its ring-of-fire path crosses southern Chile and Argentina, the South Atlantic and West Africa, with a partial eclipse across most of South America and Africa. It is followed by the total solar eclipse of August 2, 2027. The tracker at the top of this page always shows the next solar eclipse, and the next one you can see from your own location, with a countdown in days.
Where is the August 2, 2027 total solar eclipse visible?
The August 2, 2027 total solar eclipse's path of totality crosses the Strait of Gibraltar and the southern tip of Spain, then runs across North Africa (Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya and Egypt) and on to Saudi Arabia, Yemen and Somalia. Totality is longest near Luxor, Egypt, at about 6 minutes 23 seconds, one of the longest total eclipses of the century. A partial eclipse is seen across Europe, Africa and western Asia. Select it in the tracker to see the path on the map and the exact times for your city.
When is the next blood moon?
A blood moon is a total lunar eclipse. The next one is on December 31, 2028, with about 71 minutes of totality, visible where the Moon is up across Asia, Australia, Europe and East Africa. Total lunar eclipses follow on June 26 and December 20, 2029. The tracker shows whether the Moon is above your horizon for each phase.
How do I know if an eclipse is visible from my location?
Search for your city or use your device location. For every eclipse the tracker calculates the local circumstances for that exact spot: when each phase starts and ends in your time zone, how much of the Sun is covered or how long totality lasts, and whether the Sun or Moon is above your horizon at that moment. On the map, orange shading shows where a partial solar eclipse is seen and the white band is the path of totality.
Is it safe to look at a solar eclipse?
Never look at the Sun directly, even when it is mostly covered, without certified solar eclipse glasses (ISO 12312-2) or a proper solar filter. Only during the few minutes of totality, when the Moon completely covers the Sun, is it safe to look with the naked eye. Lunar eclipses are completely safe to watch with no protection.
How accurate are the eclipse times?
Positions come from Astronomy Engine, an open-source library that matches NASA eclipse predictions to within a few seconds. Contact times include atmospheric refraction but not your height above sea level or the exact shape of the Moon's edge, so allow a few seconds either way, and the edges of the path of totality can shift slightly. The per-city eclipse times shown are accurate enough for planning a viewing spot or photography, not for scientific-grade timing.
