Total Solar Eclipse ‘Map Of Nope’ Meme Is A Must-See Before August

Topline

A total solar eclipse is coming to Europe, but only to a narrow path across parts of eastern Greenland, western Iceland and northern Spain on Aug. 12. Only those inside that path — the moon’s dark central shadow — will experience totality. Everyone else across western Europe and parts of North America will see a partial eclipse — a technically interesting sight, but missing the defining moment of totality, when the sky goes dark and the solar corona becomes visible to the naked eye. That’s why the so-called “Map of Nope” meme, created by eclipse cartographer Michael Zeiler at EclipseAtlas.com, will once again go viral ahead of this event. It cuts through the confusion with a simple message: if you’re not in the path of totality, you cannot experience a total solar eclipse.
