Europe Faces Total Solar Obscuration
Spain and Portugal experienced a total solar eclipse for the first time in over a century, during which the Sun's disk completely disappeared behind the Moon, turning the sky into total darkness across large parts of Europe. The shadow persisted across the Arctic region and passed through parts of Spain and Portugal, ending after 8:30 PM in the Mediterranean Sea. In Spain, there was intense crowding and congestion at viewing points, especially in Mallorca, where roads were closed and significant efforts were made to reach the viewing sites. In Germany, the eclipse was partial, beginning at 7:11 PM, with crowds gathering around the observatory in Berlin, where the phenomenon garnered widespread interest.
