    Default Solar Eclipse on Friday 20th

    There will be a solar eclipse on Friday 20th. (Assuming we have the weather, and the sky is not obscured)
    The maximum Eclipse will be at 09:45

    Given good conditions, what the eclipse will look like from Ireland.



    Totality can only be seen on two landmasses, the Faroe Islands midway between Scotland and Iceland, and the arctic archipelago of Svalbard. Observers in those locations will see between two and two-and-a-half minutes of totality.
    Away from the path of the total eclipse the Sun is only partly obscured by the Moon. This time the partial eclipse is visible across a large part of the northern hemisphere, including the whole of Europe, Greenland, Newfoundland, northern Africa and western Asia.

    The eclipse will be closer to total the further north you are in Ireland.
