By Echo reporter A PARTIAL eclipse of the sun will be visible in Hampshire next week. On Thursday June 10, just after 10am, the moon will appear to clip the sun, steadily making inroads into the sun s disc. After mid eclipse, the moon will then slowly appear to move away until after 12.20pm, when the sun fully reappears. A partial solar eclipse occurs when the sun, Earth, and the moon align in an almost straight line. Because the moon, sun and Earth don t align perfectly, the moon casts only the outer part of its shadow (known as the penumbra shadow) onto the Earth’s surface.
