00:00For the first time in more than two years, a total solar eclipse will turn day into night
00:04on August 12th as the moon completely blocks the sun. The best views will be in Spain,
00:10Iceland, and Greenland, where roughly 15 million people will be in the path of totality. But don't
00:15blink, totality will last less than two minutes, making it much shorter than the April 8th,
00:212024 eclipse across North America, when some locations experienced more than four minutes
00:26of darkness. At the same time, if you're in Canada, Alaska, or parts of the Midwest and Northeast
00:32U.S., you'll get a partial solar eclipse. It will also be visible across much of Europe.
00:37Cloud cover will be a big challenge in Iceland and could be a show spoiler in parts of Greenland as
00:42well. On the other hand, Spain should be cloud-free, offering an unobstructed view of this solar
00:47spectacle. Miss this one? You'll have to wait until August 2nd, 2027, when the next total solar
00:53eclipse sweeps across Northern Africa and parts of the Middle East.
