UK to witness major eclipse since 1999
The UK will experience its most significant solar eclipse since 1999, with up to 96% of the Sun covered by the Moon, on Wednesday evening. While only a partial eclipse will be visible in the UK, total eclipses will be observable in parts of Spain, Russia, Greenland, Iceland, and Portugal. The event offers a rare opportunity for viewers to witness the Sun's corona and the moon's shadow, but safety precautions such as certified eclipse glasses are essential for observation. The next total solar eclipse visible from the UK is expected in 2081.
