A PARTIAL eclipse graced the UK skies with nearly half of the Sun disappearing for two hours today.
Onlookers, equipped with protective eyewear and homemade tools, gathered outside to witness the amazing phenomenon at 10.07am.
Most of the Sun disappeared at 11am but the eclipse only lasted until 12.14pm.
The extraordinary event only happens once every 18 months and the next one is expected in August 2026.
Epic pictures of the event have emerged showing the Moon take a “bite” out of the Sun.
