On Monday 2 August 2027, the eclipse is partial in Lisbon (Portugal). The Moon starts to cover the Sun at 8:40 AM, hides 92.5% of its surface at 9:44:44 AM and leaves it at 10:54 AM. All times are local time (UTC+1). At maximum the Sun stands 35° above the horizon, to the east.
A partial eclipse never gets dark, even a deep one: one percent of the Sun is still thousands of times brighter than the full Moon. The corona, the stars and the 360° twilight only appear inside the path of totality. From Lisbon, the nearest city on our list inside the path is Jerez de la Frontera, 349 km away, where totality lasts 1 min 26 s.
Eclipse glasses stay on from the first second to the last: at no moment in Lisbon is it safe to look at the Sun with bare eyes.
