Solar eclipse 2015 UK time

A total solar eclipse will be experienced in the Faroe Islands and Svalbard in Norway on Friday 20 March, while the rest of Europe will see a good amount of the sun temporarily blotted out. The eclipse technically starts at 07:41 UTC and ends at 11:50 UTC, but in the UK you're probably safe to get out of bed and stumble onto the front path in your dressing gown at about 8am. The eclipse will peak (should be up to 90 per cent coverage in the UK) at around 9.30am before the sun returns to normal operation by 11am.
