00:00Millions looked to the skies for one of the UK's striking solar eclipses in decades on
00:06Wednesday evening. The moon covered around 90 percent of the sun for much of Britain,
00:11creating a partial eclipse. It peaked shortly after seven in the evening, with timings varying
00:17by location. Cloud affected some areas, but many across the country still gathered outdoors,
00:23using approved solar viewing glasses or projection methods. Parts of Greenland,
00:28Iceland and northern Spain saw something rarer, a total eclipse, as the moon completely covered the
00:34sun. Astronomers say the UK will not see a total solar eclipse until 2090, making this a memorable
00:41spectacle for viewers across the world.
