An astronomy expert has revealed the best spots across the UK to see the partial solar eclipse.

On Saturday morning (March 29), there will be a partial eclipse - when the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth but the Sun, Moon, and Earth are not perfectly aligned.

From the UK, the eclipse starts around 10am and finishes around 12pm, with a maximum of around 30% - 48% of the Sun covered around 11 am.

Some points on Earth see greater coverage of the Sun than others. There will not be any noticeable dimming of sunlight but the Moon will appear to be taking a bite out of the Sun.

Brits who are looking forward to seeing the partial solar eclipse may want to go to the Outer Hebrides, which will be the best place in the UK to see it, according to .

In the Outer Hebrides, 47% of the Sun is expected to disappear behind the Moon. Northern Ireland is second, with 44% of the Sun obscured, followed by West Wales with 38%.

Franck Marchis, SETI Institute astronomer and Co-founder of Unistellar, said: "While it may not be as dramatic as a total solar eclipse, a partial eclipse is still a breathtaking sight, and there are plenty of safe ways to enjoy the experience.

"If you're planning to observe the event with a telescope, it's essential to follow strict solar safety measures by using a filter. Also visible to the naked eye, it is mandatory to use only glasses that comply with safety standards (ISO 12312-2) for an optimal experience. It is advisable to check the condition of the glasses to ensure that there are no cracks or scratches on the lenses."
