Yahoo News Digest — Friday's solar eclipse is like nothing we'll see for another 19 years
Yahoo News reports: "This Friday, a rare total solar eclipse will be visible across parts of
Greenland, Europe, and North Africa. Not only is this the only total
solar eclipse in 2015, it’s the last of its kind for another 19 years.
Total solar eclipses are pretty rare in themselves, but it’s also the
first total solar eclipse of the 21st century that occurs on the same
day as the first day of spring. To have the moon block out the sun on
the same day as the vernal equinox, the first day of spring, is even
more rare. It won’t happen again until the year 2034."
