Wednesday’s eclipse and “ring of fire” will first been seen on the remote Easter Island in the Pacific at 14:08 local time (20:08 BST).

It will then be seen on the south-west coast of mainland Chile at 17.20 local time (20:20 BST) before moving east into Argentina shortly after.

Those in the Falkland Islands will experience a partial solar eclipse of around 80-85%.

It will start at 16:12 locally (20:12 BST) in the Falkands, peaking at 17:30 (20:30 BST), before ending at 18:42 (22:42 BST).

The eclipse will not be visible in the UK.

Over the next couple of nights in the UK, however, you might just notice the smallest sliver of the Moon, as a new moon becomes visible. With very little moonlight, the nights will also appear very dark.

The next solar eclipse visible here will be 29 March 2025 when around 30-40% of the Sun will be in shadow.

After that, it will be 2026 when 90% of the Sun will be blocked in some locations.

The next total solar eclipse to be seen from the UK will not be until 2090.
