Overview

• NASA and national observatories reported successful viewing across Europe, Africa, Asia and Australia, while most of the Americas lacked direct visibility.
• In Spain, the IGN timed the event at 18:27–21:56 for the partial phase and 19:31–20:53 for totality, with maximum at 20:11 local time in Madrid.
• Only the partial phase was visible from the far west of Galicia and the Canary Islands due to moonrise after totality.
• Aemet’s cloud warnings proved accurate as reports from Catalonia and Galicia cited obscured or limited views, even as clearer skies elsewhere produced striking images.
• The total phase lasted about 82 minutes; the red hue came from sunlight filtered by Earth’s atmosphere, and agencies reminded the public that lunar eclipses are safe to watch, with attention now turning to Spain’s notable solar eclipses from 2026 to 2028.
