This is cool, wish I could have seen it.
Fortunate northerners saw a rare eclipse of the midnight sun on June 1.
During the Arctic summer, the sun dips low on the horizon but never sets. That means a solar eclipse is theoretically possible at any time. But this week’s eclipse was the first visible from Scandinavia since 2000, and the deepest since 1985. The next one won’t be for another 73 years.
