Europe will witness its first total solar eclipse in nearly 30 years on August 12. The rare event will turn daytime into darkness in parts of Greenland, Iceland, northern Spain, Portugal and Russia. The UK will see a partial eclipse, with up to 95% of the Sun covered in some areas. Experts say the event will briefly reduce light and temperature. People are advised to use certified eclipse glasses and never look directly at the Sun. Millions are expected to watch the eclipse across Europe. Scientists say it will be one of the biggest sky events of the year. (PC: AP)
