August’s total solar eclipse will sweep over Spain, Iceland and Greenland

A total solar eclipse will occur on August 12, sweeping over mainland Spain, Greenland, and Iceland, with totality lasting up to 2 minutes and 18 seconds. The event will coincide with a six-planet parade and the peak of the Perseid meteor shower, while a partial eclipse will be visible in regions like Alaska, Canada, and Europe. A longer 6.5-minute eclipse is expected next year.
