The 12 August 2026 eclipse in Napasoq

In Napasoq the 12 August 2026 eclipse is partial: the Moon covers up to 79.4% of the Sun, which will be 35.8° above the horizon.

The path of totality runs 1,382 km away, over Mestersvig. There is no shortcut: a 99% partial is nothing like 74 s of totality.

Closest to the path: Mestersvig — 1,382 km from Mestersvig, inside the path.
