While the eclipse will be total in Greenland, Iceland, and Northern Spain, viewers in the UK and Ireland will experience a substantial partial solar eclipse, with approximately 90 per cent of the sun covered by the moon. This event marks the most extensive solar coverage seen in the UK since the last total solar eclipse in 1999, with the next total eclipse visible from the UK not expected until 2090. For safe viewing, it is crucial to use certified eclipse glasses or create pinhole viewers, as advised by organisations like the Royal Astronomical Society. Optimal viewing locations in the UK and Ireland, offering up to 95-97.5 per cent coverage, include Cornwall (e.g., The Lizard, Land's End), Pembrokeshire, and Mizen Head in Ireland, with London expecting around 90 per cent coverage.
