Total Solar Eclipse wows millions across Europe

A total solar eclipse swept parts of Europe on Wednesday, with totality visible in Spain and Iceland while the United Kingdom experienced more than 90 percent coverage. Millions of people across northern and central Spain gathered to watch totality that lasted under two and a half minutes, and BBC correspondent Pallab Ghosh in Burgos said the sight gave him goosebumps. It was the most significant European eclipse since 1999, with widespread public viewings and photographers sharing images from cities across the continent. Satellites including MTG-I1 recorded the Moon’s shadow moving across Earth from geostationary orbit, and broadcasters and observatories ran special coverage and photo galleries of the event.
