A total solar eclipse will occur on next Wednesday, the Moon will pass between the Earth and the Sun and will totally blacken the view of the Sun for a viewer on Earth.

 

Because the eclipse will occur about 2.2 days after perigee the Moon's apparent diameter will be larger.

 

The total eclipse will pass over the Arctic, Greenland, Iceland, the Atlantic Ocean, northern Spain and the extreme northeastern part of Portugal. The points of greatest duration and greatest eclipse will be just 45 km (28 mi) off the western coast of Iceland by 65°10.3' N and 25°12.3' W, where the totality will last 2m 18.21s.
