Weather Scotland, Aberdeenshire, Peterhead

This partial solar eclipse will be visible in the region covering Europe, the Middle East, north-eastern parts of Africa, Western Asia, the North Atlantic Ocean, North Indian Ocean.

Got a nice little event next week if we have clear skies, see below all the times across Scotland.

The moon will partially eclipse up to 82% of the Sun.

From the Scotland, the best time to see the eclipse will be from 10:00 BST until 12:00 BST.

Location	Partial eclipse begins	Maximum eclipse	Partial eclipse ends
UK, Scotland	10:08 a.m.	10:59 a.m.	11:51 a.m.

A solar eclipse happens when, at just the right moment, the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth. Sometimes the Moon only blocks part of the Sun’s light.

This is called a partial solar eclipse. Other times, the Moon blocks all the Sun’s light.

A solar eclipse always occurs about two weeks before or after a lunar eclipse.

Total eclipse: The sun is fully obscured by the moon.
Partial eclipse: The moon doesn’t fully block the sun, so only a portion of the sun is obscured. Here, the moon appears to take a “bite” out of the sun.
Annular eclipse: The moon is centred in front of the sun, but doesn’t cover the entirety of the surface (as seen in a total solar eclipse). A “ring of fire” shines around the moon.
Hybrid eclipse: The rarest solar eclipse is a combination of a total and annular eclipse (sometimes known as an A-T eclipse) and is produced when the moon’s shadow moves across Earth, it starts as one type of eclipse and transitions to another.
