New solar eclipse in sight. In just a few hours, specifically between 10:30 a.m. and 12:40 p.m. next Thursday, June 10, we will be able to enjoy one of those astronomical phenomena that are worth observing. An eclipse, which will be annulled in northeastern Canada, northern Greenland (Denmark), the Arctic Ocean and northeastern Russia, which we can partially see in Spain. And it is that, although we cannot enjoy the show in all its splendor, we will be able to see how the moon gets in the way of our star.
As explained by the National Astronomical Institute through its website, the eclipse it will reach a maximum magnitude in our country of 0.20 in the extreme northwest of the peninsula. A magnitude that will be 0.10 in the interior of the peninsula and around 0.02 both in the Canary Islands and the Balearic Islands. Therefore, those who live in provinces such as A Coruña, Lugo, Ourense and Pontevedra will be the ones who can best enjoy the event. Would you like to know what the eclipse will look like in your area?

This is how the event will look from your community
On the website of the National Astronomical Institute you can access a section in which they allow you to see how the eclipse sequence will look in the different Spanish capitals. After accessing it, we will see by default an image that shows us what the partial eclipse will look like from Madrid. However, and if we want to know how it will look from the different provinces of the country, we will only have to click on the province we want and wait for the page to load the corresponding image.

Beyond the image in question, that will allow us to consult the sequence of the partial eclipse, This infographic shows us at what time the astronomical event will begin in each autonomous community and at what time it will end. And, as often happens in this type of situation, it will not be the same to see it in the northwest of the country than to do it at the other end. While In A Coruña it will begin at 10:49 hours to end at 12:43, the solar eclipse will not be visible in Palma de Mallorca until 11:29, where we can see the Moon slightly covering the Sun until 12:14.

And when can we see the next total solar eclipse in our country? From the National Astronomical Observatory they explain that observing a partial eclipse of the Sun every several years is quite common. Not so the fact of seeing an annular, for which we have to go back to 2005 in our country, or a total one, which occurred for the last time in 1959 in the Canary Islands. However, despite the fact that more than a century has passed since the last total eclipse on the peninsula, we are in luck. The next total visible solar eclipse in Spain will take place on August 12, 2026, followed by another on August 2 of the following year. Shortly after, on January 26, 2028, we will be able to enjoy an annular eclipse across the country.
