  "summary": "A total solar eclipse occurred on August 12, crossing Iceland and Spain, while much of Europe witnessed a partial eclipse. The event marked the first total solar eclipse visible from mainland Europe since 1999, according to The Indian Express.\n\nIn Spain, spectators watched in wonder as the eclipse swept across the north of the country, plunging it into darkness, with some areas experiencing totality. Viewers in Buitrago de Lozoya, a rural district north of Madrid, clapped and cheered as the sky dimmed, with Baily's beads visible on the horizon, as reported by the Jerusalem Post.\n\nThe eclipse was also visible in Iceland, although it was largely obscured by clouds, with a break in the clouds in the far west allowing some to glimpse the phenomenon. Millions across Britain and Europe turned their eyes to the skies for the spectacle, with the UK experiencing a partial eclipse, according to The Vibes.",
