By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

The United Kingdom will experience its most significant solar eclipse until 2090 on August 12th, with over 90% of the sun expected to be obscured for many across Britain. While the path of totality will not cross the UK, the country will witness its deepest partial solar eclipse since 2015. Observers in the southwest of England can expect up to 96% of the sun to be covered shortly before sunset. The event coincides with the peak of the Perseid meteor shower, offering a prime night for skywatching. AI
