Moon blocks part of the Sun over the UK





The UK's only solar eclipse of the year has taken place.

infinix game box Because there are so many players playing, there is a limited number of people playing in each round.

The partial solar eclipse began at 10:08 BST in London, with the maximum eclipse at 10:59. It could be seen across the UK until about midday.

Solar eclipses occur when the Moon passes between the Sun and the Earth, casting a shadow.

One of the best views was in Lerwick in the Shetland Isles, with 28% of the Sun obscured at mid-eclipse.

The Royal Astronomical Society reminded people to never look directly at the Sun, even during an eclipse.

Internationally, the partial eclipse was first visible in Iceland at 09:58 BST, before it passed over the northern hemisphere, said the IMCCE observatory in Paris. It was due to come to an end off the coast of India at 14:02 BST (18:32 local time).

Dr Robert Massey, of the Royal Astronomical Society, said observers in western Siberia received the best view of the eclipse, with the Moon obscuring about 82% of the Sun.

The Royal Observatory Greenwich said even though a portion of the Sun's light was blocked, it did not get noticeably darker in the UK.

"Can't believe the clouds held back," said Laura Ngo, who captured the partial solar eclipse in Witham, Essex, by putting a camera at the back of her telescope.
