Skygazers across the UK will have the opportunity to witness a partial solar eclipse on Saturday morning.
The celestial event will be visible from 9.56am to 12.14pm on March 29, with the peak in London occurring around 11.03am.
During this astronomical phenomenon, approximately one-third of the Sun will be covered as the Moon passes in front of it.
The eclipse will begin at around 10am, offering viewers a rare chance to observe this natural spectacle.

Those hoping to catch a glimpse should prepare for varying weather conditions depending on their location in the country.
Clear skies are expected over large parts of the UK during the eclipse, particularly in southern England.
“Those further south in England on Saturday should see some break in the cloud,” said Stephen Dixon, spokesperson for the Met Office.
However, those in northern Scotland and Northern Ireland may be disappointed despite these areas typically offering the best viewing conditions.
“The north west of Scotland, which has the best window for seeing the partial solar eclipse, is unfortunately going to see rain and cloudy skies,” Dixon explained.
The weather pattern means viewing opportunities will vary significantly depending on location across the country.
