Friday will not only mark the first day of spring, it will also will include a total eclipse of the sun in certain regions of the world.
A total eclipse will be visible in remote areas of northern Europe. The Danish Faroe Islands and Norway's Svalbard island group will be able to see the celestial event.
Most of Europe, northern Asia and northern Africa will be able to observe a partial eclipse, which will darken skies mid to late morning.
As with any solar eclipse, people are advised to never look directly at the sun to avoid permanent eye damage.
The next solar eclipse viewable in the United States won't be until August 21, 2017.
Friday's celestial events also include a supermoon, an event where the Moon makes its the closest approach to the Earth on its elliptical orbit. The result is a larger looking moon when viewed from earth.
