Europe plans solar eclipse in 2081 Saudi issues warnings
Europe will experience a total solar eclipse in 2026, an event that won't happen again until 2081. The eclipse will pass over Greenland, Iceland, and Spain, with a partial view visible in France and nearby areas. The Saudi embassy in France has called on its citizens to exercise caution, following widespread purchases of protective eclipse glasses. Medical warnings have heightened about the dangers of direct viewing, which can cause permanent burns to the retina within seconds. Experts have also warned that using cameras and telescopes without special filters poses a similar risk of eye damage. French authorities have launched awareness campaigns to prevent injuries, recalling past incidents in 1999 where many suffered retinal injuries due to ignoring safety instructions. Symptoms of damage include blurred vision, dark spots, and difficulty distinguishing colors. This event follows a series of rare astronomical phenomena observed in the region, with health authorities emphasizing the importance of safety standards to protect viewers from eye risks during the eclipse.
