by Skygazer gathered throughout the UK to take a look at the sometimes solar eclipse.
The phenomenon occurs when the moon runs between the sun and earth. The three are not fully aligned, so only part of the sun is covered.
The solar eclipse reached a climax on Saturday at 11 a.m. in London and was visible in parts of the country in parts of the country in parts of the country.
Sussex from the city of Lewes, around 11 a.m., said Robert Massey, deputy managing director of the Royal Astronomical Society, said: “There is a really beautiful amount of people, all are very excited, there are people who wear sunglasses and see the telescopes we have set up.
“We love it and it’s a lot of fun. It’s a great public atmosphere, it’s a really nice event. There is a large amount of enthusiasm.
“As expected, the moon started moving about an hour in front of the sun; it has a bit in less than an hour and it blocks part of the sun.”
He added: “It is not as if the landscape or the light looks different if you don’t look at the solar eclipse, but when you look through a telescope, you will see this really obvious bite.
“One of my colleagues here has a colander and so you can see small holes of the sun with the bite.
“I think you could suspect that the tens of thousands are involved with such events. There are local astronomer groups throughout the UK to do it.”
Astronomer Imo Bell in the Royal Observatory Greenwich said at 11.15 a.m.: “There was nothing unexpected, but that’s cool, we know that this has been going on for a very long time.
“We now have the technology and understanding of the room to predict these things almost until the second.
“I am together with thousands of people. I am currently in Oxford, we have reached a little more than 30% of the sun.
“I have heard a lot of people in Great Britain in which they have a higher darkness that have poor cloud cover. If they have good weather, they are pretty happy.”
The MET office used to say on Saturday that southern and eastern areas of Great Britain would have the best viewing conditions with a cloudy sky in the north and west.
The next partially solar eclipse in Great Britain will be in August 2026, which is expected to be 90% dark.
