In pictures : Saturday's partial solar eclipse

A partial eclipse of the Sun took place on Saturday morning, News.az reports citing BBC.

Pictures from across the world - from the UK to Spain, from Greenland to Senegal - show the progress of the Moon as it moved between the Earth and the Sun.

Depending where you are, the partial eclipse looked as if the Moon was taking a nibble or a gigantic bite out of the Sun.BBCWeatherWatchers/Hang Ross | As it happened: a composite of the phases of the partial eclipse from Lyndhurst in HampshireBBCWeatherWatchers/Monks Risborough | An extraordinarily clear view of the Sun partly eclipsed by the Moon from Monks Risborough in BuckinghamshireGetty Images |People in Keele, Staffordshire, used eye protection to look at the partial eclipseEPA | The Moon partially blocks a blood red Sun in this photo from London's Greenwich Observatory
