In pictures: Solar eclipse as seen from the UK
- Published
Some parts of the world have seen the annular eclipse or so-called ring of fire in full, but from the UK there has been a partial solar eclipse.
"I鈥檓 a total amateur but have always had an interest in all things astronomical", says Heather Mullan at Daviot in Aberdeenshire. "The filter was simply taken out of some cardboard eclipse viewing glasses and taped to the lens!"
Ryan Toomey caught the eclipse from Greenock complete with a "bird photobomb". He said: "I had to use three pairs of sunglasses, stacked on top of each other, to view it with some level of protection".
Matt Tildesley captured this eclipse image at Embo beach in the Highlands.
Max and Phoebe Coleman took a series of images in Ibstone, High Wycombe, using sunglasses as a filter for the camera.
Roslin in Midlothian was the location for Rob Ward's shot.
Amateur astronomer Chris Brown sent in his telescopic effort from Sumburgh Head in Shetland.
Colin Riach took this shot of the eclipse from Edinburgh on Thursday morning.
Another bird tried to steal the eclipse show, this time courtesy of Megg Fairey at Romney Sands in Kent. "As I went to take my picture, a seagull flew over just as I captured this beautiful experience!"
