Partial solar eclipse visible tonight

The most dramatic partial solar eclipse in nearly three decades will be visible across the UK this week. 

Astronomers say between 90% and 96% of the sun will slowly disappear behind the moon on Wednesday evening. 

While people in Greenland, Iceland and parts of northern Spain will be able to view a total eclipse, it will still represent the highest level of coverage seen from the UK since 11 August 1999.

Keele University, Staffordshire - The university has invited people, external to join a free event on campus to "safely view the partial eclipse of the sun by the moon". Astronomers invited people to gather on the edge of playing fields on Barnes Hall Road. "We'll have solar telescopes for safe viewing, eclipse glasses available to borrow and share, refreshments, activities for kids, and guests from Newchapel Observatory," the university said.

Jodrell Bank, Cheshire - The world-famous observatory has announced it will remain open until 20:00, and will offer guided solar observing sessions and an "immersive Space Dome film" with bookable tickets included in its admission.
