Solar eclipse
Hi folks, I've not posted in this group before and I'd just like to know if
the partial solar eclipse on 3rd Oct will be visible from Cyprus. That's where my daughter will be at the time, and she wants to know whether she'll be able to see it, and if so, at what local time? TIA Steve |

Coordinated Universal Time, in old money it was GMT.
It's what we use in the UK when it's not Summer Time. |
