The skies over Mogan will have a special event this Wednesday, August 12th. The Moon will begin to pass between the Earth and the Sun at 6:59 PM, and the eclipse will reach its maximum around 7:54 PM. From the south of Gran Canaria, it will be seen as a partial eclipse, while a strip of the Iberian Peninsula will be able to enjoy totality.

In Mogan, the most anticipated moment will arrive when the Sun is barely 10 degrees above the horizon. Astronomical calculations place the magnitude of the eclipse at around 0.747. The final part of the phenomenon will coincide almost exactly with sunset, so locations with a clear view to the west will be the best for viewing it.

The main recommendation is simple: never look directly at the Sun without proper eye protection. Regular sunglasses, no matter how dark or even if they offer UV protection, are not safe for viewing an eclipse. You must use specific solar viewing glasses that meet the ISO 12312-2 standard and are in perfect condition.
