Boot to Gecko, or B2G, is an ambitious Mozilla project initiated to build a complete, standalone operating system for the open Web. Boot to Gecko's primary focus is for use on mobile and tablet devices as an open source mobile operating system that provides the infrastructure to build apps with Web APIs. Boot to Gecko ultimately seeks to provide Web developers with the same capabilities as those building for operating system-specific stacks.
The solar eclipse will take place at around 8.45am GMT and is due to last for a few hours. Most of it will go unnoticed because its path falls over the North Atlantic and Arctic Oceans. It will start in Greenland and move counterclockwise towards the northeast, passing over Iceland and the UK.
Editor's note: The Great American Solar Eclipse was on Aug. 21. It swept across the continental United States from Oregon to Georgia. See our full coverage. Another total solar eclipse will be seen across the United States in 2024. A solar eclipse occurs when the moon gets between Earth and the sun, and the moon casts a shadow over Earth. A solar eclipse can only take place at the phase of new moon, when the moon passes directly between the sun and Earth and its shadows fall upon Earthâs surface.
