Partial solar eclipse to cross swathe of Europe on Saturday

Skygazers in the Northern Hemisphere will witness a partial solar eclipse on Saturday, lasting four hours from 0850 GMT to 1243 GMT, with the best view in northeastern Canada and Greenland. Observers must protect their eyes with eclipse-viewing glasses to safely watch the Moon cover around 90 percent of the Sun’s disc, as the alignment is not perfect enough for a total eclipse to occur. This event follows a recent total lunar eclipse and precedes a total solar eclipse expected on August 12, 2026, visible in Iceland, northern Spain, and parts of Portugal.
