TOTAL SOLAR ECLIPSE

MANACOR

Mallorca · 12 August 2026 · totality 20:31 CEST

The moon caught the sun about two and a half degrees above the horizon, so totality arrived folded into the sunset — barely clearing the ridgeline, with the last orange light of the day in the same frame. Fifty-three stills, a time-lapse that runs on into the dark, and a two-and-a-half minute film assembled from both. All of it shot on a phone.

The film  ·  2 min 31 s

Stills held in sequence with the exposure data burned in, cut with the two time-lapse segments. It slows down through totality.

The time-lapse  ·  from 19:48

Started at 19:48:54, when the light first went strange. It runs past the last still photograph and into full dark — the town lights come up at the end. Click any frame to jump there.

Phase labels here are derived from the photographs’ own exposure data — the point where shutter and ISO jump — not from an ephemeris, so the boundaries are approximate. For reference, published times for Palma put totality at 20:31:05–20:32:41 with the sun 2½° up (Sky & Telescope); Manacor sits about 45 km east of that, so its local timings differ slightly.
