"2024 Solar Eclipse: Viewing Opportunities and Scientific Endeavors"
TL;DR
A partial solar eclipse was visible in parts of Scotland, while most of the UK missed out due to cloud cover. Tens of millions in the US gathered to view the total eclipse, but in the UK, only northern and western Scotland had clear skies for the partial eclipse. Social media users shared pictures of solid grey clouds, with some joking about the "breathtaking" view. A physicist described partial eclipses as "boring," while the next total solar eclipse visible from the UK is not expected until 2090.
