West Country set for Britain's biggest partial solar eclipse since 1999

The West Country will experience up to 95% of the Sun obscured during the 12 August 2026 partial solar eclipse—the UK’s most dramatic view since 1999—with Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly expected to see about 95% and around 90% in Bristol, Somerset, Gloucestershire and Wiltshire. The event runs 18:17–20:06 BST, peaking at 19:12 BST. Observers are urged to choose elevated, west-facing spots for the best horizon view and to practice safety: use ISO 12312-2 certified eclipse glasses or proper solar filters for cameras, never look directly at the Sun, and consider live streams from the Royal Observatory Greenwich. Free eclipse glasses will be available at events such as the Downs in Bristol; the next UK total solar eclipse isn’t until 2090.

Southern California Gears Up for Blood Moon Lunar Eclipse Before Dawn

A total lunar eclipse (blood moon) will be visible in Southern California before dawn on Tuesday, with phases from 12:37 a.m. to 6:25 a.m. and totality at 3:04 a.m.; no equipment is required to see the color change, though binoculars or a telescope can enhance the view, and observers should seek dark skies away from light pollution. The event places the Moon in Leo, and Griffith Observatory will host an online broadcast from 12:37 a.m. to 6:25 a.m.; NASA notes the red hue results from Earth's atmosphere filtering sunlight during totality.
