A total solar eclipse will plunge much of North America into darkness on Monday, turning the day skies into night.
The cosmic event will see flares of the Sun’s corona appear like a diamond ring in the sky. As the Earth is plunged into darkness, planets and comets may even be visible to the naked eye, and the eclipse could disrupt communications back on Earth.
A total solar eclipse happens when the Moon completely covers the Sun, and observers are within the darkest part of the Moon’s shadow. Areas covered by partial shade witness a partial eclipse, and this is what some lucky skygazers might see in the UK on April 8.

The path of the total eclipse will end west of Ireland, but after sunset around 20% to 30% of the Sun will be obscured by the Moon. Professor Don Pollacco, from the University of Warwick’s Department of Physics, said that from Glasgow about 12% of the Sun will be obscured at around 8pm (BST).
Dr Edward Bloomer, senior astronomer at the Royal Observatory Greenwich, said the UK is only going to get “a small grazing” of the eclipse in the west and north of the country.
It appears the majority of Greater Manchester will not see anything of the eclipse, apart from perhaps the very west edge of the region, based on graphics that have been issued by the Royal Observatory Greenwich and University of Warwick. The best chance of seeing anything of the eclipse near Greater Manchester is in Liverpool, but the city will only see a maximum of 3.1% coverage at 7.57pm when the Sun is basically right on the horizon – the window is very small as the start and end times are 7.55pm and 8pm.
