US EditionPartial eclipse to be visible from UK on Saturday, Met Office says, with southerners set for best views
- On Saturday, the moon will cross in front of the sun, creating a partial solar eclipse visible in parts of the Northern Hemisphere between 0850 GMT and 1243 GMT.
- This celestial event, occurring when the sun, moon, and Earth align, follows a recent total lunar eclipse dubbed a "blood moon".
- The eclipse will stretch from eastern Canada to northern Russia, with the maximum eclipse visibility in northeastern Canada and Greenland at 1047 GMT, potentially obscuring over 90% of the sun in some areas.
- In France, astronomer Florent Deleflie of the Paris Observatory notes that between 10% and 30% of the Sun's disc will be obscured depending on the region, and the sun's rays will turn into "cold light".
- To safely view the eclipse, Deleflie advises using special glasses, as looking directly at the sun can cause irreversible vision loss, and even old eclipse glasses with slight defects can cause eye damage; he also stated that the naked eye will not be able to see any difference.
