More specifically, according to experts, this total eclipse will "block" up to 90% of sunlight in Europe - considered Europe's largest total solar eclipse since 1999.

The total solar eclipse occurs when the Moon lies between the Earth and the Sun and covers the entire Sun when viewed from Earth. With that, the halo of the temple still radiates out, forming a beautiful scene.

If you are in the North Atlantic and Arctic Ocean regions, you will admire the magical beauty from the sun's rays radiating when the Moon is covered.

Because the path of the total eclipse begins in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean and moves north toward Greenland, north of Siberia. The maximum point of the solar eclipse will be in the north of Scandinavia and the Faroe Islands.

And the inhabitants of Europe will have the opportunity to admire the panoramic view of this special phenomenon. In London, the Sun will be covered by about 84%, and 94% of the Sun will be in darkness in Glasgow, Aberdeen and Edinburgh at 09:36 GMT (about 16:36 minutes Vietnam time). As expected, this total solar eclipse will last for more than 2 minutes.

Dr. Steve Bell said: "It can be said, this is the largest total solar eclipse in Europe by its wide coverage. The last total eclipse with such a large coverage takes place on 11/11. 8/1999 - 16 years ago ".

The image of a total eclipse of 1999, with the effect looks like a diamond ring.

In August 1999, darkness began in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean before covering the southern part of the United Kingdom, northern France, Belgium, Luxembourg, southern Germany, Austria, Slovenia, Croatia and Hungary. This total eclipse lasted 2 minutes 23 seconds.

Tom Kerss, astronomer at the Royal Observatory Greenwich said: "After this event in March 2015, we will have to wait until 2026 to have the opportunity to admire the total solar eclipse. So, don't miss this amazing event. "

Besides, according to astronomers, on the night before the total solar eclipse, you can witness the phenomenon of the Super Moon.

The Super Moon will be 30% brighter and 14% bigger than the Moon at normal times.

The Super Moon occurs when the full moon / new moon is at its closest Earth position (near the point) on elliptical orbit around the planet. The Super Moon will be 30% brighter and 14% bigger than the Moon at normal times.

Therefore, there is no reason why you will miss this year's most remarkable event.
