Explanation: What if the Sun and Moon rose together? That happened yesterday over some northern parts of planet Earth as a partial solar eclipse occurred shortly after sunrise. Regions that experienced the Moon blocking part of the Sun included northeastern parts of North America and northwestern parts of Europe, Asia, and Africa. The featured image was captured yesterday over the Grábrók volcanic crater in Iceland where much of the Sun became momentarily hidden behind the Moon. The image was taken through a cloudy sky but so well planned that the photographer's friend appeared to be pulling the Sun out from behind the Moon. No part of the Earth experienced a total solar eclipse this time. In the distant past, some of humanity was so surprised when an eclipse occurred that ongoing battles suddenly stopped. Today, eclipses are not a surprise and are predicted with an accuracy of seconds.

Beautiful photography.
Cool shot!
Looks like Atlas.
The total eclipse of August 12, 2026, will be visible in Iceland, weather permitting. For people planning to travel to see the eclipse Spain is probably a better bet for clear skies.
Looks like they're flippin us off to me.. 🥴😁
so that’s what happened to Samwise Gamgee.
My favorite Iceland channel “Just Icelandic” posted a unique eclipse video.
