Key moments

Never look at the Sun without new, certified ISO 12312-2 eclipse glasses (CE marking), except during complete totality — and put them back on as soon as any sunlight returns.
Sunglasses, improvised filters or unfiltered optics (binoculars, camera, smartphone) do not protect and can burn the retina.

The path of totality crosses Spain (from Galicia to the Balearic Islands), Iceland and Greenland. In mainland France the eclipse will be partial only.

How long does the total phase last?

Do I need special glasses to watch the eclipse?
