A partial eclipse of the Sun took place on Saturday morning.
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.
