to the eclipse

On 28 August 2026, Earth's shadow bit 93 % of the Moon

It's over: it happened in the early hours of Friday, with maximum at around 6:12 mainland Spanish time. Below is everything it was, and further down when the next one is.

Will you see it from where you live?

I need to know where you are to work out the Moon's height above your horizon. It isn't stored and isn't sent anywhere.

Or see it for central Spain

Shall I remind you that night?

One email on the 28th in the afternoon, so it doesn't slip past you. And another when there's something big up there again. Nothing else: no offers, no news, no round-ups.

Your email is stored and nothing else: not your name, not your IP, not where you came from. Every email carries a link that removes you from the list in one click.

What happened, exactly

La Tierra se cruza entre el Sol y la Luna, y su sombra cubre el disco lunar. Este no es total —se queda en el 93 %—, pero es de los que se notan: durante casi una hora, la parte tapada se tiñe de un rojo cobrizo. That colour is the light of every sunrise and sunset on Earth at once, filtered through the atmosphere and cast onto the Moon.

The Moon half eclipsed, one edge still grey and the rest stained dark red
The coppery red, in the partial phase. It isn't a camera filter: it's that light of sunrises and sunsets, bent by the atmosphere.

It is visible to the naked eye across Spain. No telescope and no protection needed: a lunar eclipse is safe to look at, unlike a solar one.

What people used to tell

The Inca saw a jaguar biting the Moon and made noise to scare it off. In Mesopotamia they sat a substitute king on the throne during an eclipse, in case the omen came for the real one. In India there are still people who don't eat while it lasts.

Nobody here is going to tell you an eclipse changes your luck. What it does change is that you look up, and that you know what you're looking at.

And afterwards, tell us

In Tarot Dorado there's a wall where people say what they felt at each thing the sky does. You don't write anything: you pick one of five. The next day you see the split — how many were awestruck and how many felt nothing.
