A partial solar eclipse will be visible in Finland next week, Yle News reports. The phenomenon can be seen across the country, but the best viewing conditions are expected in the west and in the north.

Solar eclipses tend to draw attention from both astronomy enthusiasts and casual observers. According to Yle News, the exact experience will depend on the weather and on how open the view to the sky is at the viewing spot.

The event offers a chance to watch the Moon cover part of the Sun in a safe and simple way. With the eclipse due next week, people hoping to see it will need to follow local conditions closely.
