ScienceSolar eclipse: A rare show with scientific secrets

A rare total solar eclipse is expected within hours. Parts of northern Spain will briefly fall from daylight into darkness as the Moon passes in front of the Sun. Millions of people elsewhere across Europe, Canada, the northern United States and northwest Africa will see a partial eclipse. Beyond the spectacle, eclipses give scientists valuable opportunities to study the Sun and gain insight into the wider universe.
