As now, total solar eclipse is being seen in the skies of Western Europe, specially Portugal and Spain, as well Iceland
Later today, the Perseid meteor shower will reach its peak and allow most of Earth's Northern Hemisphere citizens to see it in full might, combed with a New Moon, which means no moonlight would wash them out of the sky.
