The first solar eclipse has occurred in Britain,
attracting the attention of millions who stopped to get a glimpse of the
eclipse which plunged parts of the UK into brief darkness.
Millions of peoples across Britain were stranded as they were unable to see anything all.
The
sun’s light was almost totally concealed, casting a huge shadow of the
Moon across the nation turning day briefly to night, but watchers could
not look directly at the sun because they risked damaging their eyes.
As seen from the Earth, a solar eclipse is a type of eclipse that occurs when the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth, and the Moon fully or partially blocks the Sun. This can happen only at new moon, when the Sun and the Moon are in conjunction as seen from Earth in an alignment. In a total eclipse, the disk of the Sun is fully obscured by the Moon. In partial and annular eclipses, only part of the Sun is obscured.
