AGP Executive Report

Last update: 3 hours ago

Solar Eclipse Watch in Iceland: Europe’s rare total solar eclipse is underway, with Reykjavik’s tourism office putting start at 4:47pm and totality at 5:48pm, ending about a minute later, followed by the partial eclipse until roughly 6:47pm. Tourism & Logistics: Iceland and northern Spain are drawing huge crowds, and Spain has mobilized a major safety effort—25,000 police plus nearly 100 aircraft—amid wildfire risk from a heatwave. Viewing Safety: Across Europe, officials are urging people not to look at the sun without certified eclipse glasses or safe solar viewers, with warnings that sunglasses and improvised methods can still damage eyes. Space Science in the Sky: NASA is sending a high-altitude WB-57 jet to chase the eclipse shadow over Iceland to study the sun’s corona above cloud cover. Perseid Meteor Bonus: The Perseid meteor shower peaks tonight, with best chances after 11pm under dark skies, and the new moon should help keep the view crisp. Local Scene: Reykjavik’s eclipse moment is also feeding demand for travel and viewing plans, while cruise operators have positioned ships across Icelandic and Greenlandic waters for the spectacle.
