People who love to see a solar eclipse are being warned not to look directly at the sun during the event because of the risk of blindness.
Much of northern Europe, including the UK, will fall into darkness on Friday morning for several minutes as the moon moves between the Sun and the Earth.
The UK will experience a "partial eclipse", with the darkest conditions expected in Scotland and the north of England.
Dr Susan Blakeney said: "Witnessing a solar eclipse is a rare and amazing event. You should never look directly at the sun when there's a total or partial eclipse as well. This is because the radiation of the sun is so powerful it may cause loss of sight."
Northern areas of the UK will be rather cloudy and damp so viewing there will be rather limited. Further south, clearer skies are likely during Friday morning so it's more likely down towards southwestern parts of the UK that you will see the partial solar eclipse.
The UK last experienced a total eclipse of the sun in August 1999. The following year, Some 70 people were reported a loss of vision on those viewing the eclipse.
