Spain is preparing for a second major eclipse in just 16 days, as a partial lunar eclipse sweeps across the country on Friday 28 August 2026, following the historic total solar eclipse that crossed Spain on 12 August.

The lunar event will be visible across Spain, although how much of it can be seen will depend on location. The Instituto Geográfico Nacional (IGN) says the eclipse will have a magnitude of 0.93, with the Moon entering the Earth's shadow during the early hours of 28 August.
