Parts of Europe witness a total eclipse of the sun
The total eclipse, which took several hours to unfold as the moon slowly covered the sun but lasted just a few minutes, was not visible anywhere in the USA and was only be seen by residents and visitors of the Danish-owned Faroe Islands and Norwegian island group of Svalbard. Ref. Source 8
If you are interested in seeing a total eclipse of the sun make sure to set your calendar and clock:
NASA looks to solar eclipse to help understand Earth's energy system. It was midafternoon, but it was dark in an area in Boulder, Colorado on Aug. 3, 1998. A thick cloud appeared overhead and dimmed the land below for more than 30 minutes. Well-calibrated radiometers showed that there were very low levels of light reaching the ground, sufficiently low that researchers decided to simulate this interesting event with computer models. Now in 2017, inspired by the event in Boulder, NASA scientists will explore the moon's eclipse of the sun to learn more about Earth's energy system. Source 2w.
