Americans traveling overseas to catch total solar eclipse

A total solar eclipse will cross the Northern Hemisphere on Wednesday, August 12, with totality visible in Greenland, Iceland, and northern Spain. While over 20 US states, including Maine, will experience a rare partial solar eclipse, many Americans are traveling overseas to witness the full event. In Maine, this midday occurrence will not repeat for 19 years. Observers are advised to use proper protection to safely watch the moon cross the sun's path during the event.
