A total solar eclipse is set to occur today, with its path of totality crossing Greenland, Iceland and Spain. During the event the Moon completely covers the Sun, casting a shadow over the affected regions.
Observers within the eclipse track are advised to use proper eye protection, such as certified eclipse glasses or suitable solar filters, to prevent eye damage. Direct viewing of the Sun, even during partial phases, can harm the retina.
For those outside the viewing area, numerous websites and broadcasters will provide live streams of the eclipse. These streams deliver real‑time footage, allowing a global audience to follow the phenomenon.
Additionally, astronomy clubs and scientific organisations are publishing timetables and safety tips. Checking official sources is recommended for the most up‑to‑date information.
