Thousands of people around the world have witnessed the best solar eclipse in almost thirty years - with some even catching a glimpse of a rare total eclipse. More than 90% of the sun was obscured by the moon on Wednesday evening between 6.17pm and 8.06pm, the most it has been blocked in the UK since the 1999 total eclipse. The phenomenon began in Siberia, Russia, before becoming visible in Norway, Alaska, Greenland and western Europe. ITV News looks at how it unfolded across the globe. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- • Subscribe to ITV News on YouTube: http://bit.ly/2lOHmNj • Get breaking news and more stories at http://www.itv.com/news Follow ITV News on TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@itvnews?lang=en Follow ITV News on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/itvnews/ Follow ITV News on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/itvnews/ Follow ITV News on X: https://twitter.com/itvnews
