Austria experiences partial solar eclipse
A partial solar eclipse occurred on Wednesday, August 12, 2026, across parts of Austria. While the eclipse was total in some parts of Europe, Austria remained outside the zone of totality.
In Graz, the event began at 19:24 and reached its maximum at 20:11. The sun set in the city at 20:14, meaning the most intense phase of the eclipse occurred just minutes before sunset.
In Vorarlberg, the eclipse began at 19:24 and reached a maximum coverage of approximately 90 percent at 20:17. Observers in this region were advised to seek clear views toward the west or northwest to witness the event before the sun set at 20:37.
