Umbraday: Solar Eclipse Paths

Find your next solar eclipse with Umbraday. Explore all 46 solar eclipses from 2026 to 2046: total, annular, hybrid and partial. Choose an annular eclipse or a total event, then check what is visible from your place before deciding where to go.

FROM THE NEXT ECLIPSE TO THE DAY ITSELF
• Browse the eclipse list by type and visibility at your place. Past events, including those in 2026, are available as replays.
• Open an event and its chronometer. Follow the countdown with spoken cues, tones and vibration while the app is open; rehearse beforehand.
• Explore the eclipse path map. Check the central line and path limits where applicable, then compare observing places.
• Read the contact timeline in local time and UTC. See which part is above the horizon, including an eclipse already in progress at sunrise or cut short by sunset.
• Set optional reminders and add the chosen-event home screen widget. Keep a checklist, plan photos and export your data.

FEATURED: SOLAR ECLIPSE 2027
Plan for the total solar eclipse on 2 August 2027 across southern Spain, North Africa, Egypt and Saudi Arabia. Compare places such as Tarifa, Cádiz and Luxor using contact times and the eclipse path map. The catalog continues through 2046.

OFFLINE AND PRIVATE
Umbraday works in airplane mode and has no internet permission. Your location is used only when you tap the button, and it stays on the phone. Reminders are optional.

EYE SAFETY
Never look at the Sun without a solar filter, except during totality. Use solar viewers or eclipse glasses that meet the ISO 12312-2 international standard; ordinary sunglasses are not enough. Never look at the Sun through a camera, binoculars or a telescope unless a proper solar filter is attached to the front of the optics. Take your filter off only when the Moon completely covers the Sun's bright surface and the sky suddenly gets dark, and put it back on as soon as any bright part of the Sun reappears. If totality does not happen where you are, outside the path or during a partial or annular eclipse, keep your filter on for the entire eclipse.

ABOUT THE TIMES
Times are calculated on your device from published eclipse data and depend on your location, your phone's clock and model assumptions. They can differ from what you see by several seconds, more near the edge of the path. Umbraday is a planning aid: do not rely on it alone. Watch the Sun through your filter and use your own judgement.
Distant events are predictions with greater uncertainty. Local times use your phone's time-zone rules. Governments can change them; times in UTC are not affected.
