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

From that one I gather that we'll get a slightly better affect than Cyprus ?

Which says Cyprus will get about a 50% eclipsed sun just before 1000
UTC

Showing my ignorance again I know, but what is UTC?
And what percentage of the sun will be eclipsed for those of us in UK?

Steve

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

Thanks everyone, most helpful. I've given her the details and she's going to
take one of my spare welding mask lenses.
