Total Solar Eclipse 2027-08-02 — Cádiz

About this spectacle

On 2 August 2027, the path of totality for one of the century's most spectacular total solar eclipses passes directly over Cádiz, one of Europe's oldest cities. In the moments before second contact, the sky dims to a deep twilight, temperatures drop perceptibly, and birds may fall silent. The corona blazes into view — a shimmering halo of pearlescent light surrounding the black disc of the Moon — while Baily's beads and the diamond ring effect flicker at the edges of totality. Venus and bright stars emerge in a darkened daytime sky. The Atlantic horizon surrounding the Cádiz peninsula adds a rare, open panoramic backdrop. Totality lasts several minutes over the city, offering ample time to absorb the spectacle, remove eclipse glasses, and look with naked eyes at the fully eclipsed Sun before the diamond ring heralds third contact and daylight floods back.
