Skygazers capture glimpse of partial solar eclipse
Skywatchers across the North and East and Cumbria have shared their shots of a partial solar eclipse. The partial eclipse - when the Moon only covers part of the Sun - started at 10:07 GMT and finished at 12:00 on Saturday. In Cumbria, Paul Grindley said grey and overcast conditions "were not perfect" for photographing the eclipse, but he managed to get the shot when "the clouds parted for a few seconds". It was a similar situation in South Shields, said Andy Morl, who added, "unfortunately it clouded out just after maximum coverage but I did manage to get a few really good shots despite the cloud coming and going". Graham Waite, from Darlington, said he liked the "dramatic sky" in his photograph, while in Roker, Richard R Clark shared a distinctive shot of the Sun being obscured by the Moon. According to the Royal Astronomical Society, the Moon reached its maximum coverage of the Sun at about 11:00 – which is when the eclipse looked most dramatic. Around 30% to 50% of the Sun was covered by the Moon during that time. Follow BBC North East on X and Facebook and BBC Cumbria on X and Facebook and both on Nextdoor and Instagram.
