A solar eclipse will delight skygazers in Europe on August 12. The sun will totally disappear in eastern Greenland, western Iceland, parts of Spain, as well as in the Balearic Islands and the western Mediterranean.
People in Europe and parts of North Africa, including Ukraine and Morocco, will also be able to see the cosmic event a little bit.
Ireland, the UK, France, Portugal, Italy, Switzerland and Algeria are among the countries where around 90 per cent of the sun will be covered by the moon.
Solar eclipses happen about every 18 months in different places on Earth, but only in specific areas. Not everyone can see them.
Experts say you should not watch the event without special eclipse glasses because regular sunglasses won’t protect your eyes enough.
