On Thursday (June 10) much of the UK was treated to an eclipse, however locally cloud cover meant that Nub News, along with the local astronomy club, did not manage to get a photo.

One local enthusiast who did was Mike Read just over the border in Wiltshire.

For photography fans he told Nub News that in order to get the shot he used a Williams Optics RedCat 51 telescope with a baader solar filter , captured using a ZWO ASI224mc camera.

There will be another eclipse along on November 19 - again a partial one - while the next total eclipse is on May 16, 2022. However that will be mostly visible over South America, most of North America and parts of Europe and Africa.

People in the UK will not be able to see every part of the eclipse but will still be able to see the lunar eclipse at totality when the entire Moon turns red.

An eclipse of the Moon occurs when the Earth lies directly between the Sun and the Moon and the Moon lies in the shadow of the Earth.
