A solar eclipse will be visible to millions of people tomorrow: How to watch in person and online
On Aug. 12, a total solar eclipse will swoop across a narrow path of totality, while millions of people in North America and Europe will be treated to a partial eclipse. Here's where and when to watch.
The Aug. 12 total solar eclipse will be visible to millions of people across North America, Europe, and parts of Asia. The path of totality runs from far northern Siberia to Greenland, western Iceland, and southern Spain. Prime viewing locations include Scoresby Sund in Greenland, Reykjavik in Iceland, and León in Spain. The eclipse will last up to 2 minutes and 17 seconds in Greenland, 60 seconds in Reykjavik, and 1 minute and 45 seconds in León.
Viewers in the path of totality can safely observe the eclipse without protective eyewear, but must wear eclipse glasses during the partial phases. In North America, cities like Iqaluit, St. John's, Fairbanks, Anchorage, Quebec City, Bangor, Montreal, and New York will be able to witness the partial eclipse. In Europe, Madrid, Lisbon, Dublin, Cardiff, Belfast, Paris, London, and Edinburgh provide the best viewing opportunities.
Additionally, viewers can stream the eclipse online through networks such as CNN, NASA, and the European Space Agency.
