Hundreds Gather in Phoenix Park Ahead of Eclipse

NASA says totality will last about a minute in mainland Spain, while only northern and northeastern U.S. states will see a partial eclipse.

  • Yesterday, August 12, a total solar eclipse crossed the Northern Hemisphere, with the path of totality stretching from Siberia through Greenland and Iceland to Northern Spain.
  • While total darkness occurred abroad, the northern United States experienced a partial eclipse, with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration describing the moon taking "a small bite" out of the sun.
  • Coverage varied across the country, reaching about 37% in Alaska and 24% in Bangor, Maine, though astronomer Catherine Pilachowski warned that observers must always use protective eyewear to prevent permanent vision damage.
  • Meteorologist Stephanie Abrams noted that "there's nothing like a total eclipse," though visibility in Europe faced potential challenges from wildfire smoke, according to AccuWeather senior meteorologist Alan Reppert.
  • Spain experienced its first total solar eclipse since 1905, marking a rare celestial event, while the next total solar eclipse is scheduled for August 2, 2027, crossing Africa and the Middle East.
