Consequência prática
Totality, which occurs when the moon lines up perfectly with the disc of the sun and blocks it out entirely, will begin in Russia around midday before sweeping eastward across the Arctic ocean.
It will pass just south of the North Pole and make landfall in northeastern Greenland just after 4.00pm local time.
The shadow will then rush along the eastern coast of Greenland at a speed of more than 3400 kilometres per hour.
The maximum length of totality will be about 2 minutes and 18 seconds, as the moon’s shadow crosses from Greenland into the Atlantic ocean.
