One date, different local experiences
Your exact location determines whether the eclipse is total, partial or below the horizon. Skystral calculates the circumstances where you plan to observe.
2 August 2027 · Total solar eclipse
Know what the 2027 eclipse will look like from where you are.
Skystral turns your location into a personal eclipse plan: local phase times, maximum coverage, viewing direction, Sun altitude and an interactive 3D preview.
The event at a glance
A major morning eclipse for Europe and North Africa
The path of totality crosses southern Spain, Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Yemen and Somalia. Most of Europe, much of Africa and a wider region across the Middle East and Asia will see a partial eclipse.
Every phase in your timezone
See the partial phase, maximum eclipse and—inside the path of totality—the start and end of totality in familiar local time.
Preview the geometry
Watch the Sun, Earth and Moon align, then preview the eclipse in the local sky around maximum from your chosen observing place.
Built for the questions that matter
A practical plan, not just a global map
- Set your location. Use your device location or search for the place where you expect to watch.
- Check the local circumstances. Review coverage, phase times, viewing direction and the Sun’s height above the horizon.
- Preview and prepare. Explore the alignment in 3D, open the sky preview and add the event to your calendar.
Skystral chooses the next eclipse for your location
The globally next solar eclipse is the annular eclipse of 6 February 2027, visible from parts of South America and Africa. If that event is visible from your chosen location, Skystral presents it first. For most European observers, the companion automatically selects the 2 August 2027 eclipse instead.
Protect your eyes during every partial phase
Never look directly at the Sun without proper solar viewing protection. Eclipse glasses or handheld viewers must comply with the ISO 12312-2 standard. Ordinary sunglasses are not safe. Only during totality—when the Sun’s bright face is completely covered—can observers inside the path briefly view without a solar filter.

Common questions
Planning the 2027 eclipse
Will the 2 August 2027 eclipse be total at my location?
Totality is visible only inside the narrow path across southern Spain, North Africa and parts of the Middle East. Skystral identifies whether your local view is total, partial or below the horizon.
Why do viewing direction and Sun altitude matter?
Buildings, hills and trees can block the Sun even when an eclipse is visible in your region. Skystral shows the direction and altitude for every important phase.
Can I use Skystral without installing the app?
Yes. Skystral runs directly in a modern browser. The Android version is also available on Google Play for people who prefer an installed app.
Does Skystral replace certified eye protection?
No. Skystral helps you plan where and when to look, but safe solar viewing equipment is essential throughout every partial or annular phase.
