Cómo ver el eclipse parcial de Sol de 2026 en Badajoz: pueblos con horizontes abiertos

News

El 12 de agosto de 2026, Badajoz vivirá un eclipse solar parcial de gran magnitud. La provincia no entra en la franja de totalidad del eclipse de 2026, por lo que el Sol no llegará a quedar completamente oculto y no será seguro mirarlo sin protección en ningún momento.

Un eclipse parcial muy profundo al atardecer

El máximo se producirá aproximadamente entre las 20:34 y las 20:35h, según la localidad, con el Sol muy abajo hacia el oeste-noroeste. En muchas de las poblaciones seleccionadas la Luna cubrirá más del 95% del disco solar, generando una luz muy tenue y un paisaje poco habitual, aunque sin la oscuridad ni la corona que solo se observan dentro de la franja de totalidad. La clave será encontrar un horizonte abierto. Las llanuras agrícolas de las Vegas del Guadiana y el entorno de Mérida permiten localizar espacios amplios, pero ninguna población puede considerarse una garantía automática: edificios, arbolado, pequeñas elevaciones o la ubicación concreta dentro del término municipal pueden bloquear un Sol situado a tan poca altura.

Vegas altas y entorno de Mérida

Medellín, Santa Amalia, Torrefresneda, Valdehornillos y Yelbes son poblaciones conectadas por Asteo situadas en paisajes de regadío y grandes llanuras. Aljucén, Trujillanos y Mirandilla son otras opciones en el entorno de Mérida desde las que se podrá contemplar un eclipse parcial muy profundo.

Carmonita y Navalvillar de Pela

Carmonita y Navalvillar de Pela se encuentran algo más al norte o al noreste que las anteriores localidades, por lo que el porcentaje de ocultación será ligeramente mayor. Aún así, el eclipse seguirá siendo parcial. En Navalvillar de Pela, como en cualquier zona próxima a sierras, conviene comprobar de forma presencial que el horizonte oeste-noroeste quede libre desde el punto elegido.

Observación segura

Usa gafas de eclipse certificadas durante todo el fenómeno. Las gafas de sol y los filtros improvisados no protegen la retina.
