The chance for the World to see Partial Solar Eclipse

The huge majority of the people will have the possibility to observe a lunar eclipse as they had returned at work after celebrating the Christmas.

The east and south seashores of United Kingdom will be the most excellent place to watch the event as the Moon overtakes between the Sun and Earth just after 0800 GMT.

It is the UK's first partial hide since 2008 and comes more than 11 years after the full eclipse of 1999. The experts warned to the sky watchers that their eyes could be affected if they see directly to the sun.

Dame Sally Davies, the government's chief medical officer, said it is very risky for children and they should not see the event and advised viewing the event on TV or the web.

eople should wear solar-filter glasses who want to view the event outside. The main hurdle to viewing the cosmic phenomenon would be the clouds and hills, the best place to watch it would be on the coast.

"The partial eclipse will be happening as the sun rises and will be best seen in the south east at around 0810 - and a little bit later the further north you are."

A long wait

The eclipse, which will be able to seen from much of Europe, North Africa and central Asia, will end at or shortly after 0930 GMT for England’s viewers.

The next partial eclipse will be in 2015 - with another 79 years to wait before the next total eclipse.

Last month, the first total solar eclipse for three years was visible in the UK, with Cornwall one of the best places to view it.

A full lunar eclipse occurs when the full Moon exceeds through the shadow formed by the Earth blocking the Sun's light.
