A total solar eclipse was visible Wednesday across parts of Europe and other areas of the Northern Hemisphere, marking Europe’s first total eclipse since 1999.

About 15.2 million people live along the eclipse’s narrow path of totality, where the moon completely blocked the sun.

Nearly 980 million people, or about 12% of the world’s population, were able to see at least part of the eclipse.

The eclipse was visible across areas including western Europe, Iceland, Greenland, Canada, the northeastern United States, and parts of Russia and Africa, UPI has reported.

NASA also provided a livestream of the rare event using cameras positioned along the eclipse’s path.
