ScienceThousands gather in London to watch rare partial solar eclipse

Thousands of people assembled at London’s Primrose Hill to observe a rare partial solar eclipse. At its peak, roughly 90 percent of the Sun was obscured over the city, producing a dramatic shift in the sky. For many younger viewers, the spectacle marked their first experience of an event like this. As the sky grew darker and temperatures fell, the crowd shared the unusual moment in the centre of the capital.
