The partial eclipse could be seen yesterday evening, reaching its maximum at about 7.11pm, showing the moon passing between Earth and the sun, temporarily blocking light passing from one to the other.
Solar eclipses are a rare sight, and while in Spain people were treated to the rarer total eclipse, people in the UK were able to see the most significant eclipse of the sun since 1999.
The eclipse was visible across the whole of the UK and in Northamptonshire, with people taking the time to get outside to see the natural phenomenon.
