Chance to see solar eclipse next week

The Isle of Man will darken slightly earlier next week - for a particle eclipse of the sun.

It'll take place on Wednesday, August 12 at around 6.10pm.

More than 90 per cent of the sun will be hidden by the moon at the point of the greatest eclipse just after 7pm.

The event, which will be most visible in the west of the Island because the sun will be close to setting, will last until just after 8pm.
