Eclipse
Total solar eclipse
The Moon crosses in front of the Sun. At greatest eclipse, the narrow path of totality is already moving across the North Atlantic and Europe.
Where it matters
The view is local.
The moment is shared.
Totality crosses Greenland, Iceland, northern Russia, Spain and a small area of Portugal. A partial eclipse is visible across much of Europe, Africa and North America.

The exact phases and how much of the Sun is covered depend on your location. Never look at the Sun without certified solar viewing protection except during the brief, location-specific interval of totality.
