Story summary

Millions of people gathered in Spain to witness a rare total solar eclipse, which was also visible from parts of Canada. The path of totality included Spain, Russia, Greenland, Iceland, and Portugal, while parts of Canada experienced a partial solar eclipse. In preparation for the event, Spanish officials deployed over 33,000 law enforcement officers to prevent new wildfires, as the country is currently experiencing a devastating wildfire season that has burned over 603,000 acres of land since May. The eclipse was also visible from other parts of Europe, including Germany and Austria, where people watched it through special glasses or videos on stadium displays. Some experts note that this is an unusual "eclipse golden age" with three total solar eclipses expected in the next 700 days across three continents.
