(CNN) — A total solar eclipse will create a celestial spectacle in the sky for the first time in more than two years on August 12. A total solar eclipse happens when the moon passes between the sun and Earth, casting a shadow on our planet that fully blocks the sun’s light from some areas of the world, according to NASA. Sky-gazers in parts of Greenland, Iceland, northern Spain and northeastern Portugal will glimpse totality, when the skies go momentarily dark as the sun completely disappears.
