Partial Solar Eclipse Over Yorkshire | Leeds News

A breathtaking partial solar eclipse swept across Yorkshire and much of Europe, the first since 1999, with the Moon obscuring 90-96% of the Sun at its peak. Peaking at 7:09 PM, the event was a rare spectacle—but safety warnings were loud and clear: only certified eclipse glasses will do, as regular sunglasses offer no protection and can dangerously trick you into staring too long. After the 1999 eclipse, 70 people suffered vision damage—often permanent—because the retina doesn’t hurt when injured. With the sun setting low in the west, it was a stunning show, but remember: never look directly at the sun without proper gear.
