ALTHOUGH WE ARE just four days into 2011, the biggest astronomical event of the year is already over.
Today was your last chance to see a solar eclipse for the next four years. The partial eclipse was visible from Ireland until around 9.20am this morning; at its peak the moon covered 40 per cent of the sun’s surface.
If you missed it, don’t fret – we’ve collected some of the best photographs from across the globe.
And if that’s not enough, clear your calendar for March 2015 – when the next eclipse is due.
