Q: Are there any negative issues that could arise because of the solar eclipse?Ī: Not that I can think of. The Moon will start to pass in front of the Sun at about 08:27 GMT, maximum eclipse is at 09:32 and the Moon leaves the Sun at 10:42. Exact timings depend on where you are in the country but may differ across the UK by a few minutes. Q: Is there any chance that the predicted timings will be different to what is expected?Ī: We're now very good at calculating the motions of the Moon, the Sun and the Earth so we can be confident in the timings that have been predicted for this eclipse. So the chances of seeing one from any particular fixed location like the UK are relatively small. The 1999 solar eclipse was a major news event in the UKĪ: Although eclipses are relatively common they are only visible when the Moon's shadow passes over you and for each eclipse this is quite a small area.
