Existing eclipse maps cover the world and answer the general question. Persona Frame built one that covers a single territory, Ibiza and Formentera, and answers a single question: from this exact point, will you see totality? Free, no account, no advertising.
Until now this kind of work belonged in a laboratory. It was done in record time. That is where AI changes something: not in the precision of the calculation, which is still that of the official tables, but in the number of people able to carry it out.
On 12 August 2026 the sun stands 3 degrees above the sea at the moment of totality. At that height, three hundred metres separate the best vantage point from the worst. A beach that looks clear on paper can be ruined by a ridge two kilometres away.

Everything is embedded in the page, it works with no network, which mattered on the
night itself, on an island where the masts were saturated.
