Europe’s Total Solar Eclipse Live | Science News

Mark your calendars for August 12th — Europe is in for a cosmic treat as a total solar eclipse sweeps across Greenland, Iceland, Portugal, and Spain. While most of Europe will experience a partial eclipse with the Sun looking like it’s been bitten, those in the path of totality will witness a breathtaking 81-second blackout where the Sun’s corona becomes visible, stars appear in daylight, and temperatures plunge. The European Space Agency is broadcasting live from Spain’s Javalambre Observatory, hosted by science communicator Dame Maggie Aderin and her team of experts, offering real-time science, celestial mechanics, and even insights into how ESA creates mini-eclipses in space. Don’t miss this rare, sensory-rich spectacle that reminds us we’re part of something truly vast. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
