Meanwhile, millions of skywatchers in North America and Europe will be treated to a partial eclipse, with the moon covering more than 90% of the sun's visible surface in some areas.
The path of totality for the Aug. 12 eclipse runs in a perplexing arc from far northern Siberia near the North Pole down to Greenland, western Iceland and, finally, southern Spain. Prime locations to catch the total phase of the eclipse include Scoresby Sund, Greenland; Reykjavik, Iceland; and León, Spain.
Scoresby Sund, Greenland: 4:35 p.m. WGST (up to 2 minutes, 17 seconds)Reykjavik, Iceland: 5:48 p.m. GMT (60 seconds)León, Spain: 8:28 p.m. CEST (1 minute, 45 seconds)Soria, Spain: 8:29 p.m. CEST (1 minute, 43 seconds)S'Arenal, Mallorca, Spain: 8:31 p.m. CEST (1 minute, 36 seconds)
Totality is the only time when it's safe to view the eclipse without a pair of certified solar eclipse glasses, which you can still buy online. Protective eyewear must be worn at all times during the partial phases of the eclipse — meaning everyone outside the path of totality must wear their glasses at all times while viewing.
Where is the Aug. 12 partial eclipse visible?
Skywatchers in North America won't have the best view of this eclipse, but some cities in the Northeast will have a chance to bust out their eclipse glasses and see the moon blocking part of the sun in the afternoon.

Viewers in Europe will experience a much more complete eclipse, with the sky dimming somewhat and the air feeling a bit cooler than normal. However, eclipse glasses must still be worn at all times, even in places seeing a 99% eclipse. These are the best spots to see the partial eclipse in Europe:
