A total solar eclipse is sweeping across skies in Greenland, Iceland, and Spain Wednesday afternoon, with portions of North America also be witnessing a partial eclipse.
A Solar eclipse occurs when the moon passes directly between the earth and the sun, temporarily blocking the sun’s light.
Where to see the solar eclipse
Observers in the path of totality will witness dropped temperatures, bright stars and planets, and sun’s outer atmosphere glowing around the silhouetted moon.
