Solar Eclipse Path Visualizer

See if any city is in the path of the next total solar eclipse.

Pick an upcoming total solar eclipse — including the 6-minute-22-second 'eclipse of the century' on August 2, 2027 — and check any city worldwide, or your real GPS location, against its path of totality on a world map. Instantly see whether you're inside the path, how far you are from its edge, the point of longest totality, and how many days remain. Runs fully in your browser — nothing is uploaded.

Frequently asked questions

How do I know if I'm in the path of totality?

Pick the eclipse and your city (or use your real location) above — the tool instantly checks your distance from the path's centerline against its approximate width and tells you whether you're inside it.

What's the difference between a total and a partial eclipse?

Inside the path of totality, the Moon completely covers the Sun for a few minutes and the sky goes dark. Outside that narrow band, you only see a partial eclipse — the Moon takes a 'bite' out of the Sun but never fully covers it, and the sky stays light.

When is the next total solar eclipse?

The next total solar eclipse is on August 2, 2027, crossing southern Spain, North Africa, Egypt and the Arabian Peninsula, with up to 6 minutes 22 seconds of totality near Luxor, Egypt — one of the longest total eclipses in centuries.

How wide is the path of totality?

It varies by eclipse, but typically 100-270 km wide. A wider path (like 2027's ~258 km) usually means a longer maximum totality; a narrower one (like 2030's ~169 km) means a shorter one.

Is this eclipse path visualizer accurate enough to plan a trip?

It's accurate enough to tell whether a city is comfortably inside, near the edge of, or well outside the path. If you're planning to travel specifically for the eclipse, cross-check your exact viewing spot against NASA's official eclipse maps for precise local timing and duration.

Is this Solar Eclipse Path Visualizer free?

Yes — completely free, no sign-up, no app to install. Everything runs instantly in your browser and nothing you enter is stored or uploaded.
