London, England — Sky-watchers dey prepare to enjoy partial solar eclipse wey go happen for Saturday, March 29, 2025. Dis celestial event go take place between 10 a.m. and noon for parts of the UK and several other locations across the globe. Dis eclipse go show as if moon don take small bite out of sun, create unique crescent shape.
According to astronomers, dis partial solar eclipse go start around 10:07 a.m. for London, with maximum coverage been at 11:03 a.m. before e end at noon. Royal Observatory astronomer, Jake Foster, talk say, “Dis eclipses no fit total, but some places go see up to 90% coverage, especially for northern parts like Northern Ireland and Scotland.”
Different observers dey report their experience dem. One reader, Laura Alice Watt, wey dey live for Iceland, share say: “I no sabi about di eclipse forecast, but e surprise me wen I see am for my morning commute. Di cloud lift small and I fit snap am with my iPhone without filters.”
Expert Sophie Murray advise people to use safe methods to view di eclipse. She explain say: “One simple way to watch di eclipse safely na to create pinhole projector. Just poke small hole for paper and let di sunlight pass through, dis go show small image of di eclipse for ground.”
For people wey wan fully enjoy di show, Foster emphasize say solar glasses necessary: “You go need solar eclipse glasses wey go block 99.9999% of sun light to watch am safe. Regular sunglasses no go work.”
The partial eclipse go cover large area of di Northern Hemisphere, with visibility varying based on location. According to astronomers, “As di moon pass between Earth and di sun, e no go cover di sun fully. Dis na only partial coverage, so e no go create di eerie darkness wey dey occur during total eclipse.”
All over di world, eclipse watchers dey prepare for dis event, especially dem wey dey live for areas like Greenland, North America, and major cities across Europe. “Even people wey dey outside di path of di eclipse fit see some part,” Florent Deleflie from Paris Observatory adds.
However, caution dey necessary for observers, especially children, as looking directly at di sun without protection fit lead to serious eye damage. “Even tiny defects for your glasses fit cause major harm,” Paris Observatory warn.
In summary, if you figure out how to view di eclipse properly, you go fit witness a small but significant slice of this astronomical event. After dis one, di next total solar eclipse wey go dey visible for UK dey set for 2090, while another partial solar eclipse go show in August 2026.”
