THE STARS aligned for a borough-based photographer this morning, allowing him to capture a partial eclipse in all its glory.
The spectacular celestial event saw the moon partially cover the sun this morning, making it appear to take a bite out of it.
It happened around 11.15am on Thursday, June 10, and the weather worked in our favour, allowing the rare view to be seen.
Andrew Batt was one of those delighted with the opportunity to capture the event.
He said that his spectacular image was “fortunate”, but we think it’s stunning.
It was taken in Finchampstead and shows the moon blocking out the top of the sun. The clouds add drama to the image.
The next total solar eclipse – where the moon completely obscures the sun – will take place on December 4 this year.
But you’ll have to put your winter warmers on to see it as it will take place in Antarctica, and will last just under two minutes.
