Where to see it

The path of totality crosses Iceland and northern Spain near sunset, with a partial eclipse visible across much of Europe and parts of North America. Totality, when the Moon fully covers the Sun, lasts only a couple of minutes.

Watch safely

Never look at the Sun without certified eclipse glasses except during the brief moments of totality. A partial eclipse can damage your eyes even when most of the Sun is covered.
