Read: 8 tips on photographing a total solar eclipseDeep partial solar eclipse: UK, Europe and northeast AfricaAcross the UK, a deep partial eclipse will occur about 90 minutes before sunset. Over 95% of the sun will be obscured from many locations, making it the most significant solar eclipse visible from Britain since 2015. Small partial solar eclipse: North AmericaIn northeastern North America, the partial solar eclipse will be smaller, with parts of eastern Canada seeing around 50% of the sun blocked by the moon and the northeastern U.S. seeing more modest partial phases during the afternoon. Useful resources for finding dark skies include a light pollution map , the Dark Sky Places finder and, for the U.K, a map of Dark Sky Discovery locations. Unlike totality, where being in exactly the right place matters enormously, a deep partial eclipse or a meteor shower can often be rescued with a well-timed drive to clearer skies.
