The moon will block out the sun across Europe, north Africa, the Middle East and parts of Asia
The moon's dark shadow will pass in front of the sun on Tuesday in a partial solar eclipse visible from most of Europe, North Africa, the Middle East and the western parts of Asia.
The solar eclipse will begin in the U.K. at 10:08 a.m. BST , when the moon's silhouette will slowly pass over the sun's top left side, reaching a maximum at 10:59 a.m., at which point 15% of the sun’s surface will be obscured. The eclipse will be much more visible further east, where in Russia's Western Siberian Plain, near the city of Nizhnevartovsk, onlookers will be able to see the moon block out 86.2% of the sun around the time our solar companion is setting in the sky. Elsewhere in Eastern Europe and eastern Asia, such as Finland, Sweden, Norway, and Northwest India, the sun's surface will be more than 60% covered by the moon.
The next eclipse event will be the total lunar eclipse on Tuesday, Nov. 8. The eclipse will be visible from North America, parts of South America, central and eastern Asia, Australia and New Zealand.
