A special event is coming to Europe on August 12. It is a total solar eclipse. This means the Moon moves in front of the Sun. For a short time, the Sun disappears, and the sky gets dark in the middle of the day. This is a very rare and exciting event for many people.
You can see this amazing sight in some parts of Europe. The eclipse will travel across countries like Iceland, Norway, Sweden, and Finland. Many people plan to travel to these places to watch the sky. It is important to know where the sky will get completely dark to see the full eclipse.
It is very important to watch the eclipse in a safe way. You must never look directly at the Sun. If you do, it can hurt your eyes very badly. You need special solar eclipse glasses to look at the Sun. Regular sunglasses are not safe. Remember to always protect your eyes when you watch the eclipse.
