Considered to be the first and only total solar eclipse of 2015, it crosses the far-northern reaches of the north Atlantic Ocean on the morning of March 20, 2015 and lucky observers on the Faroe Islands and few northern island outposts will be treated with the total eclipse while most of Europe can see at least a partial solar eclipse, but that's not bad at all. Totality occurs in a narrow path across Earth's surface, with the partial solar eclipse visible over a surrounding region thousands of kilometres wide and at the end of its path, the shadow of the Moon rises from Earth's surface to space at the north pole so March 20th is the Northward equinox, the eclipse occurs as the Sun rises at the North Pole after six months. And one last thing, as a precaution, please DO NOT look the sun directly with your naked eye, instead use a filter or safety glasses to block out the intense radiation from the sun because if not you will know what happen then and your guess is good as mine:-)

Total Solar Eclipse March 20, 2015: Visible in Faroe Islands and Partial In Europe
