The August 12, 2026 total solar eclipse in Nuévalos (Zaragoza)

Of the five municipalities that dominated the Zaragoza table, Nuévalos was the southernmost and, for that reason, the last to go dark: its totality started at 20:29:43 and closed at 20:31:26, a few seconds behind Valtorres, Alhama de Aragón, Contamina and Munébrega. The shadow crossed the southwest of the province from north to south, and the clocks recorded it to the second.

Those 103 seconds of total phase were worth 491st place among the 3,963 Spanish municipalities under the umbra, and 84.3 points in the observing index. The town combined 758 metres of elevation, a historical open-sky probability of 56.1% for the date and 5.5 degrees of headroom over the terrain profile, room enough for a hemmed-in valley. Its statistical rainfall figure, 29.9%, is among the lowest in the group, though it bears repeating that this describes three decades of Augusts and not the sky of that particular evening. Sunset came at 21:10:19, 38 minutes and 53 seconds after the corona faded, with the partial phase unfinished.
