Mallorca residents and visitors observe total solar eclipse

Mallorca offered a spectacular celestial display as residents and visitors witnessed a total solar eclipse. The rare astronomical event captivated onlookers on the Spanish island.

The moon's shadow traversed the Arctic region, extending its path towards Greenland, Iceland, Spain, and Portugal. While some parts of Europe observed a partial obscuring of the sun, the phenomenon reached its totality over a significant portion of the Iberian Peninsula.

The eclipse was fully visible across most of Spain and the northeastern part of Portugal. The celestial alignment created a dramatic visual experience, with the moon completely blocking the sun for a period.

The event concluded in the Mediterranean Sea shortly after 8:30 p.m. local time (9:30 p.m. CEST), marking the end of its visible path over land in the region. This total solar eclipse provided a memorable experience for those fortunate enough to observe it.
