Overview

• Spain’s official timing from the IGN set totality from 19:31 to 20:53 with maximum at 20:11 local, a total phase lasting about 82 minutes.
• In Spain the Moon rose already eclipsed for most regions; only western Galicia and the Canary Islands caught the event in partial phase.
• Best direct views were reported in the eastern part of Spain, including Catalonia and the Balearic Islands, and across Europe, Africa, Asia and Australia.
• Aemet warned that cloud cover would hinder viewing across large areas during the peak, limiting on-the-ground visibility for many observers.
• The Moon’s red hue occurs as Earth’s atmosphere filters and refracts sunlight onto its surface, and the event is safe to watch with the unaided eye.
