AGP Executive Report

Last update: 8 hours ago

Skywatching in Iceland: A total solar eclipse will sweep western Iceland on Wednesday, Aug. 12, with Reykjavík in the totality path for about a minute (totality begins around 17:48 local time), and traffic controls starting at 08:00 plus road closures and speed limits in key viewing areas. Perseids after the eclipse: The same night, the Perseid meteor shower peaks late Wednesday into early Thursday, with the new moon helping keep skies dark enough to spot dozens of meteors per hour under clear conditions. Europe’s eclipse tourism boom: Authorities and travel operators are bracing for crowds as the eclipse turns parts of Spain and Iceland into “blackout tourism” hotspots, with hotel prices jumping sharply in Reykjavík. EU space upgrade: The European Commission has signed off on IRIS², adding 66 satellites to the 348-satellite network, aiming for first launches by 2029 to boost secure government connectivity. Eye-safety reminder: Officials are urging viewers to use certified eclipse glasses during partial phases and avoid unsafe “improvised” filters.
