VIEW GALLERY. Ireland is to be temporarily plunged into darkness next month by a near-total solar eclipse. Over 90% of the sun will be obscured during the astronomical event, which will be visible from Ireland on March 20, 2015.
The next total eclipse anywhere near the UK will be in 2081 in central Europe, and finally in Britain in 2090. The last major solar eclipse happened in August 1999. That was the first total eclipse since 1990 and the first seen in the UK since 1927.
