The article discusses an upcoming partial solar eclipse expected to be visible in the UK and other regions. The event will see the moon partially obstructing the sun's light, with visibility highest in the east of the UK and reaching up to 90% in parts of Canada. Astronomer Jake Foster explains the eclipse's characteristics and its impact; notably, the partial eclipse may not cause noticeable darkening or cooling. Viewing requires special protective glasses, and in London, the eclipse will start at 10:07 am and peak at 11:03 am.
...the partial solar eclipse will be visible in parts of the UK between 10am and noon on Saturday, with viewing chances best in the east where skies should be clearest.
"In a partial solar eclipse, you're unlikely to notice it getting any darker or any colder in the same way you would during a total eclipse."
"To actually look up at the sun, they are going to need a pair of solar eclipse glasses or a solar viewer," said Foster.
"...the timing of the event also differs by location, but in London it will begin at 10.07am, with the moon reach its maximum coverage of the sun at 11.03am before ending at noon."
