Historic eclipse captures Spain's attention
Spain and Portugal experienced a rare astronomical event: a total solar eclipse. This was the first of its kind visible in Spain in over a hundred years. The total eclipse began in northern and central Spain along a path that passed through Greenland and Iceland, continued across the Atlantic Ocean, and ended in the Mediterranean Sea near the Balearic Islands. Widespread areas of Europe and North Africa also observed a partial eclipse. The event caused a sudden decrease in light and temperature, and altered the behavior of birds and animals. Millions of people watched the eclipse, with hundreds of official observation sites set up and security forces deployed. This eclipse marks the beginning of the so-called "Triad of Eclipses" phenomenon on the Iberian Peninsula, where Spain will experience another total eclipse in August 2027, followed by an annular eclipse in January 2028.
