Solar eclipse 2025: Check out these pictures

A montage over two hours showing a partial solar eclipse, seen from Eastbourne, East Sussex.

On Saturday 29 March people living in the UK were treated to a stunning sight - a partial solar eclipse.

That's where the Moon covers a chunk of the Sun- it looks like it is taking a bite out of it!

Whilst partial solar eclipses are not rare, it is a special treat to be able to see them from the UK.

The special eclipse, which is still dangerous to look at with the naked eye, was spotted safely using telescopes, pinhole cameras and protective eyewear across the UK.

Take a look at some of the best pictures and how people watched:

This picture was captured in Liverpool. The partial eclipse was caught over Liverpool's famous Royal Liver Building on the waterfront.

In London, people gathered at Greenwich Observatory where they used objects such as colanders as pinhole projectors to watch the eclipse.

This is one of the pictures captured by those at the Greenwich Observatory .

The shape, which shows the sun with a chunk missing, was also projected onto paper to allow people to safely see the sight.

The eclipse could be seen in the skies above buildings, as shown here. It was visible across many places in the UK and also around the world.

If you missed out on seeing the eclipse, don't worry you don't have ages to wait for the next one.

The next partial eclipse visible from the UK will be on 26 August 2026.

That one will be almost full - with 90% of the Sun being covered by the Moon at the maximum.

After that, the delay will be a little longer for those hoping to watch from the UK, we'll have to wait until 2029!
