A partial solar eclipse will be visible from Guernsey and other parts of the South West and Channel Islands on Wednesday evening, offering local residents a chance to view a significant celestial event. Guernsey is expected to see particularly high coverage, making it a notable viewing spot compared with other areas experiencing the eclipse.

The eclipse will last around one hour and 50 minutes, beginning at approximately 18:20 BST and ending by 20:10, with Guernsey witnessing about 94% coverage of the sun. Those hoping to see a full solar eclipse from the island will need to wait considerably longer, as the next one is not due until 3 September 2081, some 55 years from now.
