What will happen when the Moon covers the Sun? What you need to look out for to appreciate the total eclipse

The totality will last only a few seconds, but unusual things will happen both in the sky and around us. We review what to expect before, during and after the great astronomical phenomenon.

Translated from Spanish Read in Spanish

This Wednesday, August 12, for a few seconds and in almost 4,000 Spanish municipalities, it will get dark in the middle of sunset. It will be one of the greatest astronomical spectacles that exist, but also one of the briefest. We will have a window of just two seconds (from Derio, Biscay) to a maximum of 110 (for example, from Navia, Asturias) to notice what happens in the sky. And also on Earth.
