Skygazers across the UK – and in other parts of the world – are looking up to catch the astronomical spectacle.

A partial solar eclipse on Saturday will make it look as if the moon has taken a bite out of the sun over parts of North America, Greenland and Northern Europe.

If that’s too long to wait, two total lunar eclipses are also coming, one in September and another next March. Unlike total solar eclipses, which are visible only along a narrow path on Earth’s surface, total lunar eclipses can be seen by mostly anyone on the night side of the planet.
