From Bath, the eclipse will not reach total phase but will be visible as a partial solar eclipse. Below are the times of the event.
The last major solar eclipse one was in 1999 when people across the UK travelled to get the best view of the lunar activity.
The moon’s orbit will see it travel in front of the sun on the morning of Friday, March 20, casting a shadow over the Earth.
It is expected that a partial eclipse will be visible across Europe, North Africa and Russia for about 90 minutes, while Northern Scandinavia and the Faroe Islands will experience a full eclipse, known as totality.
Across southern Britain, the partial eclipse – when the moon starts touching the sun’s edge – will start at 8.45am.
The maximum eclipse will hit at 9.31am and this will be the point when the moon is closest to the centre of the sun. By 10.41am the moon will leave the sun’s edge and the partial eclipse will end.
