On Friday 20 March a total solar eclipse will occur across the Arctic and in the far Northern regions of Europe. This is the last total solar eclipse in Europe for over a decade, with the next one not visible in Europe until 2026.
The UK will experience this as a deep partial eclipse, while the total eclipse will be seen on two remote groups of islands: the Faroe Islands and Svalbard.
To capture a detailed record of the changes during the Solar Eclipse we are asking users to increase the frequency of their observations to 1-minute Observation.
This is the page on the website that has information about the partial eclipse:
