# Solazo

> Solazo is an Android app for the 12 August 2026 total solar eclipse over Spain. It computes exact local timings on-device from NASA/GSFC Besselian elements, ranks observation spots for a low Sun, and sends offline-friendly reminders.

Solazo (https://solazo.app) is a single-purpose companion for the total solar eclipse of 12 August 2026. The path of totality crosses Greenland, Iceland, a corner of Portugal, and northern Spain — the first totality on the Iberian Peninsula in 121 years. In Spain the Sun is only about 2–12° above the horizon during totality, so horizon and site choice dominate the experience.

## FAQ

### What is Solazo?
Solazo is an Android app built for the 12 August 2026 total solar eclipse. It calculates exact local eclipse timings offline using NASA/GSFC Besselian elements, ranks reachable observation sites for a low Sun, and sends timed reminders.

### When is the 2026 total solar eclipse in Spain?
Totality occurs on 12 August 2026. The path crosses northern Spain; local contact times vary by location and should be computed for the exact coordinates of the observer.

### Why is the Sun so low during this eclipse in Spain?
Because the event happens late in the day for Iberia. During totality the Sun is only a few degrees above the horizon in much of Spain, so any hill, ridge, or building can hide the disk entirely.

### Does Solazo work offline?
Yes. Timings are computed on the phone. Coverage is not required once the app has the location and the user is in the field.

### Is Solazo a subscription?
No. Solazo Total is a one-time purchase.
