Where Will You Be When the Sun Vanishes?

Celestial Drama: The Sun's Disappearing Act Across the Northern Skies

Where Will You Be When the Sun Vanishes?

On the 20th, something extraordinary will happen in the sky: the Sun will disappear from view. Depending on where you are in the world, you might witness a spectacular partial eclipse or even a total eclipse if you’re in the Faroe Islands. For many, this event will be marked by a supermoon moving in front of the Sun and blocking it from view.

The lucky folks in the Faroe Islands will see the Sun vanish from the sky at 9:41 AM. This total eclipse will also be visible from Svalbard, just a bit later in the morning. Even if you’re on a ship in the North Atlantic, you’ll catch this amazing phenomenon.

Most of us in Europe, North Africa, and western Asia will get to see a vast partial eclipse. To give you some timings: in Greenland, the peak of the eclipse will be at 6:30 AM. In Algiers, it will be around 10:11 AM. If you’re in Istanbul, look up just before midday, and in Moscow, the peak will be at 1:20 PM in the afternoon.

I’ll be enjoying the eclipse from my home in the UK at around 9:30 AM with my special eclipse glasses to ensure I watch it safely without damaging my eyes. It’s crucial never to look directly at the Sun without proper protection. I hope you’ll join me in witnessing this fantastic celestial event!
