How and when to see October’s ‘ring of fire’ solar eclipse

Wednesday’s eclipse and “ring of fire” will first been seen on the remote Easter Island in the Pacific at 14:08 local time (20:08 BST).

It will then be seen on the south-west coast of mainland Chile at 17.20 local time (20:20 BST) before moving east into Argentina shortly after.

Those in the Falkland Islands will experience a partial solar eclipse of around 80-85%.

It will start at 16:12 locally (20:12 BST) in the Falkands, peaking at 17:30 (20:30 BST), before ending at 18:42 (22:42 BST).

The eclipse will not be visible in the UK.

Over the next couple of nights in the UK, however, you might just notice the smallest sliver of the Moon, as a new moon becomes visible. With very little moonlight, the nights will also appear very dark.

The next solar eclipse visible here will be 29 March 2025 when around 30-40% of the Sun will be in shadow.

After that, it will be 2026 when 90% of the Sun will be blocked in some locations.

The next total solar eclipse to be seen from the UK will not be until 2090.
