Northern Hemisphere witnesses partial solar eclipse

ai generated text

A partial solar eclipse was visible in the Northern Hemisphere on Saturday, with the moon passing between the Earth and the sun. The phenomenon, which occurred for four hours, was visible in Europe, including Greenland, the far northwest of Africa, and Newfoundland. In London, the eclipse peaked at 11am, with 30-40% of the sun obscured. The next partial solar eclipse in Europe is due to take place on August 12, 2026.

    1. Those make use of a special filter that blocks out 99.9999% of the sun's light, which makes it safe for us to view. And, similarly, solar telescopes use similar filters.
    2. It won't be total anywhere but there are parts of Canada where it will be about 90%.
    3. If people want to directly view it, to actually look up at the sun, they are going to need a pair of solar eclipse glasses or a solar viewer.
    4. The thing is, with a partial solar eclipse like this [with] around 30-40% of the sun being blocked, If you're not looking up, you wouldn't really notice the difference.
    5. The best place in the UK is going to be further north-west, parts of Northern Ireland and Scotland where it's about 40-45%.
