Ireland and Britain, the luckiest in Europe to enjoy the eclipse

Parts of North America will be plunged into darkness today during the much-anticipated total solar eclipse, but some lucky Europeans will also get the chance to get a small taste of the phenomenon.

A partial eclipse of the sun will appear in some parts of Ireland and the United Kingdom, as the Daily Mail newspaper comments, noting that the phenomenon will be visible just before sunset in some cities of the two countries.

The eclipse will be visible for longer the further west you go, and the west coast of Ireland is expected to have the longest viewing time.

Those living in and near the cities of Cork, Limerick, Galway and Dublin in Ireland, as well as Belfast, Manchester, Liverpool, Inverness, Glasgow and Edinburgh in Britain, are likely to have visibility from higher altitudes and clear skies. .

Europeans will see a total solar eclipse again in 2026 – visible as a total in Iceland and Spain.

However, experts point out that in North America, those who will be able to see the total solar eclipse need special glasses to protect their eyes.

The only time it's safe to take off your glasses is during totality, or a few minutes of total darkness, experts point out.

In total, about 32 million people live in the path of total darkness where the solar eclipse will be visible, according to NASA officials./ CNA
