The moon will cover the sun, blocking out up to 98 percent of its light on March 20. A day before the phenomenon, the Earth and Moon will be as close together, giving us the Supermoon to appreciate, Mirror UK reported.
However, what's even cooler is that it will happen on the same day, which makes the 2015 Spring Equinox eclipse.
The once in a blue moon phenomenon will be seen across Northern Africa, Europe and Northern Asia.
This happens when the moon's goes in front of the sun that makes a shadow over the Earth. At this point, depending on the location, 30% and 98% of the sun's light will be blocked out. Far north countries or territories will have a greater chance of blocked lights.
A greater part of England will get to see majority of the partial eclipse, seeing 80 percent of the sun obscured, but Scotland will have the lion's share with more than 90 percent obscurity. While England and Scotland are enjoying the 80 percent to 90 percent obscurity, The Isle of Lewis will see the obscurity of the sun by 98 percent at around 9:36am.
Independent also reported that the treasurer of Thaner Astronomy Group, George Ward is looking forward to the "double treat", talking about of course the Supermoon and the eclipse.
Ward said that the Supermoon is well worth looking and one of the rarest celestial events and with a decent binocular anyone can see how impressive it is to glance at details of the moon's surface that is impossible during a full moon because of its brightness.
The 74 year old said confirmed that solar eclipses don't happen as a matter of fact, the last one they had was in 1999. He also added the Supermoon and the eclipse together makes it a little bit extra special.
"I will be outside with my camera." He ended.
