The National Geographic Institute (IGN), a part of the Ministry of Transport, Mobility, and Urban Agenda, has officially confirmed that a partial solar eclipse of very low magnitude will occur on Saturday, October 14, 2023, at dusk. This celestial event will be visible from the Canary Islands, primarily from Tenerife, Gran Canaria, La Palma, La Gomera, and El Hierro.
The IGN notes that the eclipse will be noticeable, especially since the sun will set shortly after it begins. In North America, this eclipse will be observed as an annular eclipse.
According to the National Geographic Institute’s information, the partial solar eclipse will begin to be visible in the province of Santa Cruz de Tenerife at approximately 19:25 hours and will conclude around 20:48 hours.
The last time a partial solar eclipse was visible in Spain occurred on October 25, 2022. The next one is scheduled for April 4, 2024, with a very low magnitude (0.2), in the westernmost Canary Islands and the northwest of the Iberian Peninsula. Another partial eclipse is expected on March 29, 2025, which will be visible throughout Spain, as stated by the IGN.
