The world is set to experience a total eclipse on Friday, although few people will see the eclipse in its total glory and North Americans will miss out entirely.

The total eclipse - when moon completely obscures our view of the sun - will happen mostly over the north Atlantic Ocean Friday morning and will only be visible in the Faroe Islands, located halfway between Iceland and the tip of Scotland, and Norway's Svalbard Islands.

Those remote islands are now destinations for scores of eclipse chasers and scientists like Jay Pasachoff at Williams College who see this as a unique opportunity to study the sun.

"We need good weather and we won't know until the last day whether we will get some holes in the clouds to see the eclipse," said Pasachoff, who was heading to Svalbard Wednesday and has seen more than 60 eclipses.

Sky was shitty and cloudy, didn't see a goddamned thing =_=
It got a tiny little bit darker for a few minutes and then went light again.

i watched it through magnetic tape, was visible but wasn't full eclipse here, was only around 50-60% overlapping. pretty underwhelming, but was still nice.

I got to experience it last time, which was in 1999. This year it was all fog and clouds, though.

We're most likely not going to experience it again for many many years to come.
