Partial photo voltaic eclipse stay: Watch as Sun phenomenon is seen within the UK – and the right way to view it your self and keep protected when doing so
Because of the positioning of the moon in this case, it will give the impression the sun has been shaped into devil horns and this is starting to take shape, as seen in Warwickshire.
It may be worth noting that experts have issued advice on how to best enjoy this phenomenon whilst remaining safe.
‘Even though a third of the sun’s light is gone – it’s covered by the moon at its peak – it’s still really dangerous to look at,’ said Dr Robert Massey at the Royal Astronomical Society.
‘Instead, what you need to do is either go to a public event where amateur astronomers might be projecting an image of the sun you can look at.
‘Or if you can get hold of certified, proper, good-standard eclipse shades (you can buy them online) they block out most of the harmful light from the sun.’
The eclipse can also be observed safely with everyday objects such as a kitchen colander and some paper to create a projection screen for the sun’s rays.
‘You hold the colander in the direction of the sun, put the card behind it, and as the eclipse progresses (and it likely depends on the size of the holes) you should see many tiny projections of the sun with a “bite” taken out of it,’ Dr Massey said.
