An annular eclipse is taking place today, in which the moon will pass in front of the sun but not completely obscure it.

What will this look like in Exmouth?

Make sure not to look directly at the eclipse as this is very dangerous and can damage your eyes.

The eclipse has now begun as of 10.02am, and will be at its maximum point at roughly 11.06am - but only as little as 20% of the sun will be obscured during the eclipse.

Why so little?

This eclipse will be most visible in northern areas, such as the Arctic, Russia, and Canada, due to the path of the moon.
