Heavens above! It's the great eclipse: Next Friday morning, Britain will turn from day to night for the first time this century. Here's the Daily Mail guide to all you need to know.
- The Moon will pass between the Sun and the Earth in this landmark event
- It will cast a deep shadow over the planet's surface in a partial eclipse
- Unlike 1999 it will not be a total eclipse over Britain - that will happen over the North Atlantic and the spectacular event will finish over the North Pole
- Eclipse glasses, a colander or a bucket of water can all be used to view it safely.
- The next similar eclipse will not take place over Britain until August, 2026
It will peak in Wells at 0927
