What it does

  1. Featured eclipses. The ones that matter next, each with the countries its path crosses and the nearest town in the path to you.
  2. From your exact spot. Any eclipse simulated from where you stand, with a live countdown to it and how long the darkness lasts there: from Luxor, Egypt, 6 minutes 23 seconds of totality on 2 August 2027.
  3. Anywhere else. Change the location to see it from the path, or from where you will be.
  4. A reminder. Tap the bell on an eclipse and the app reminds you before it.
  5. Lunar eclipses too. More eclipses lists the eclipses of the Moon.
