When Paul McCartney came to the end of his time with the Beatles, there was one place in Scotland that offered respite and a place to look to the future – both for his growing family and for new musical projects. The idyllic Campbeltown on the Kintyre peninsula not only captured his heart but also provided inspiration for his new band.
Chance to see 'spectacular' solar eclipse in Scotland's skies this October
20.09.2022 - 13:39 / dailyrecord.co.uk
Keen stargazers are being urged to take note of a rare celestial event that's happening at the end of next month.
A partial solar eclipse is due to happen in a couple of weeks, and there's a chance it could be visible here in the UK depending on the weather.
This partial eclipse has only happened one other time this year. The last one in April wasn't visible in UK skies, so previously it was June 2021 that we last saw the 'spectacular' event that saw the moon block out a third of the sun.
Bristol Live reports that according to Royal Museums Greenwich (RMG), there are between two and five solar eclipses each year with a total eclipse taking place every 18 months or so.
Total solar eclipses, which is when the moon comes directly between the sun and Earth, are only seen every 400 years from any one place on the surface of our planet.
The last one to be seen in the UK was back in 1999, with the South West - Cornwall in particular - experiencing the most spectacular view in the country.
Although the next total solar eclipse visible in the UK is not expected for several more decades, the RMG lists the UK's next partial solar eclipse as much sooner.
The upcoming partial solar eclipse will happen on October 25, 2022.
According to timeanddate.com, the eclipse should begin in UK time at about 10am and last for almost two hours.
The maximum effect is expected to be seen in the UK at about 11am, according to its calculations, although NASA's calculator predicts 10am will be the peak time.
As well as the UK, the partial solar eclipse is expected to be seen in other parts of Europe as well as in Asia, north Africa and the Middle East, although it'll depend on how cloudy it is on the day.
