Rare eclipse surprises millions
Europe and several other parts of the world experienced a rare astronomical phenomenon—a total solar eclipse. The last time such an event was visible in Spain was 20 years ago, accompanied by extraordinary scenes in Germany and the Netherlands. The eclipse lasted for a brief period, with totality in Spain lasting less than two minutes, while the Moon covered 90% of the Sun in the Netherlands. Darkness gradually spread southward to Iceland. Sales of eclipse glasses surged significantly, and scientists took advantage of the event to study the solar corona and the effects of the Sun on communications and electricity. It was also an excellent opportunity for amateur astrophotographers to document the phenomenon.
