Once in a generation, the geometry of the cosmos arranges itself into a moment that stops human life in its tracks. This August, for the first time in nearly thirty years, the moon will pass directly before the sun over Europe — and it will do so at the edge of day, as the sun descends toward the horizon, making totality at sunset a phenomenon so rare that even seasoned eclipse chasers have seldom witnessed it. For a continent that last stood beneath the moon's shadow in 1999, the wait is almost over.
