The 20 March 2015 solar eclipse in Europe

Abstract

Every year there are two or more solar eclipses on Earth (and also two or more lunar ones). Yet it is a lifetime experience when it happens in the place, area, or country we live in. In a few days, people in Svalbard (Norway) and the Faroe Islands (Denmark) will see a total eclipse while the rest of Europe, northern and eastern Asia, and northern and western Africa will observe a partial occultation of the Sun by the moon (the northern the location the larger and longer the eclipse). The next solar eclipse visible in Europe will be in 2026.
