Double Celestial Delight: Two Eclipses, both visible from Spain’s Andalucia, await this autumn

THIS autumn holds a special treat for astronomy enthusiasts as both a solar and lunar eclipse will be visible from Spain, making it an exciting season for skywatching.

To kick off, this autumn will feature an annular solar eclipse, set to occur on October 14.

The prime viewing locations for this celestial event will be the United States, Mexico, Colombia, Venezuela, and Brazil.

In Spain, however, it will only be partially visible, specifically in the westernmost Canary Islands and with low magnitudes, as confirmed by the National Astronomical Observatory (OAN).
