Solar Eclipse Time & Live Stream: Eclipse Will Appear in Sky on Friday Morning
A solar eclipse will appear in the sky Friday morning, the first day of spring, USA Today reports.
The solar eclipse will occur the same day as a Supermoon.
A Supermoon is a full moon that occurs during the moon's closest approach to the Earth where the moon will appear bigger and brighter in the sky.
The total eclipse will only be visible to some people on remote islands in far northern Europe such as the Danish-owned Faroe Islands and the Norwegian islands.
A partial eclipse will be visible throughout Europe, northern Africa and most of northern Asia. A partial eclipse occurs when the moon obscures only part of the sun from the Earth's view.
"Depending on where you are in Europe, you will see anywhere from roughly 50 to nearly 99% of the sun's diameter eclipsed by the moon," said Space.com's Joe Rao.
People in the United States could get a view of the eclipse online starting at 4:30 a.m. ET on Slooh.com.
Friday morning's total solar eclipse is the first and only of the year 2015.
The last total eclipse occurred in November 2013 and the next after tomorrow is not expected to happen until August 2017.
There will be two more lunar eclipses in the U.S. this year on April 4 and again on Sept. 8.
The spring equinox which occurs when the sun shines directly on the equator will occur at 6:45 p.m. on Friday.
Eye experts say that taking pictures of the eclipse on digital devices could cause blindness, The Guardian reports.
It is best to use a homemade pinhole camera and face away from the sun when taking pictures of the eclipse.
Residents in London can go to the Royal observatory in Greenwich and join a group of expert astronomers to view the eclipse.
If skies are clear on Friday morning, the United Kingdom could lose all the power.
No power blackouts are expected since electricity grids are fully aware of total eclipse far ahead of time.
