Chartered Community of Navarre

Department of Universities, Innovation and Digital Transformation, together with Navarra Promotion of Culture, Sport and Leisure (NICDO) and Planetario de Pamplona, have developed the Eklipse Project. The project includes a wide range of activities throughout 2026, aiming to position Navarra as one of the regions where the total eclipse can be enjoyed fully; bringing scientific knowledge to the public; and ensuring the event can be enjoyed in the safest possible conditions, both in terms of health and mobility.

On 12 August 2026, the eclipse will begin across Navarra almost simultaneously, at around 7.32 pm local time. The Sun will already be very low (around 7°) in the west-northwest, so it will be a ‘sunset’ eclipse from the outset. The Moon will gradually cover the Sun until the key moment, which in Navarra falls very close to the time between 8.28 pm and 8.29 pm.

Navarra is set to witness the historic event of the complete series of three eclipses. After the total eclipse of 2026, there will be partial eclipses of significant magnitude in 2027 and 2028.
