Sunset Solar Eclipse to Dazzle Mallorca: A Rare Horizon-Totality Show

On August 12, 2026, eastern Spain and the Balearic Islands will witness a horizon-proximity total solar eclipse, with 1 minute 36 seconds of totality at Mallorca’s northwest coast at 8:31 p.m. CEST, just 2.7 degrees above the horizon; the event creates a dramatic double twilight as daylight fades from below while the Moon’s shadow darkens from above, and observers should stay a bit after totality to watch the departing shadow—an unusually rare, land-based sunset eclipse.
