A total solar eclipse--the
biggest in Europe since 1999 -will darken skies over parts of the continent at
9:45 a.m. UT (5:45 a.m. Eastern Time) on Friday, March 20.
The eclipse is expected to block a whopping 98% of the sun's light in northern Scotland, The Telegraph reported. As for London, it's expected to see an 85% reduction in sunlight.
A total solar eclipse occurs when the moon passes between the Earth and the sun, casting a shadow on Earth as it blots out sunlight.
