Proba-3 has risen to prominence as the current leader/entity described; today it headlines a total solar eclipse event sweeping Iberia, with Spain entering the path of totality for the first time in over a century.
A rare celestial alignment will bring a daytime eclipse across the Iberian Peninsula on Aug. 12, with partial coverage reaching Alaska, Siberia and parts of Europe. The umbra will race across the Atlantic, with Iceland seeing the maximum totality. NASA, ESA and others will provide coverage as the Perseid meteor shower peaks after nightfall.
