Solar Eclipse

Parts of Brazil, Africa, Turkey, central Asia and Mongolia: These are places where people can see a total eclipse of the sun on Wednesday, March 29th.

A partial eclipse will be visible over a much wider area, including all of Europe.

Astronauts onboard the International Space Station will have the rarest view of all. The station is due to pass over Turkey while the eclipse is in progress there, giving astronauts a magnificent view - not of the sun, but of the moon's cool shadow.
