Total solar eclipse to grace Europe and Arctic on August 12

A total solar eclipse will occur on August 12th, visible across Europe, the Arctic, and the North Atlantic. This event marks the first total solar eclipse on mainland Europe since 1999, with its path extending closer to the North Pole than any recorded in modern history. The eclipse will begin in Siberia, Russia, and travel across Greenland and Iceland before reaching northern Spain, which is anticipated to be the primary viewing destination. While Spain offers the longest duration of totality, Portugal will experience a brief taste, and other regions like Venice will witness partial eclipses near sunset. AI
