Stargazers across Leeds were treated to a spectacular partial solar eclipse last night.
All over the city, residents safely turned their eyes to the sky to see the rare celestial event. It was the most the sun has been blocked by the moon since the total solar eclipse in 1999.
People hoping to see another total eclipse will have to wait until 2090, so last night’s (August 12) display proved to be a can’t miss. The Yorkshire Evening Post had a photographer head out on Wednesday to capture it - see our best photos here.
We also asked our readers on Facebook to send in their pictures of the eclipse from across the city. Here are a brilliant selection of photos from Pudsey to Garforth.
The next time the moon obscures as much of the sun will be in 2081 and the next total solar eclipse in the UK will be in 2090.
