Rare solar eclipse amazes millions
Europe and other parts of the world experienced a rare phenomenon: a total and partial solar eclipse, during which the Moon covered between 80% and 90% of the Sun's disk. It was the first total eclipse in Europe in 20 years. The eclipse lasted only a short time—about two minutes in some areas—and there was a noticeable increase in sales of special glasses designed for viewing the event. Scientists utilized this phenomenon to study the solar corona and its effects on communications and power grids, while amateur astronomers prepared to capture images and enjoy the rare spectacle.
