Europe to witness sunset total solar eclipse with global livestreams

A rare sunset total solar eclipse will be visible across Europe, with the path of totality passing Iceland, northern Spain, and a small corner of Portugal (totality lasting about two minutes in some spots); Greenland and northern Russia will experience the longest durations. A partial eclipse will sweep over the northern US, Canada, much of Europe and northwestern Africa. NASA and the European Space Agency will host live broadcasts starting around 1:15 PM ET, and viewers should wear certified eclipse glasses. If wildfire smoke lingers, it may alter the corona’s visibility but could also deepen sun color for photography. After totality, observers may catch the Perseids meteor shower; the article also notes a future total eclipse on August 2, 2027 across southern Spain, Gibraltar, and nearby regions.
