Millions of people in the UK and northern Europe are witnessing the best solar eclipse in years.
In a solar eclipse, a path across the Earth's surface is plunged into darkness as the Moon comes between us and the Sun.This commenced at 07:41 GMT and the deepest part of the Moon's shadow touched the Earth's surface at 09:13 GMT, reaching the UK at 09:23 GMT.
Experts are warning people not to look directly at the phenomenon.
This is because even during the eclipse, looking directly at the Sun causes serious harm - but there are ways to watch the eclipse safely and many people are looking for a chance to do so.
Within the UK, those opportunities are heavily dependent on the cloud cover that currently shrouds much of the country.
