UK partial eclipse draws crowds as astronomers chase totality abroad

Eastern England will experience a partial solar eclipse with up to about 90% of the Sun obscured, prompting watch parties from Northampton to Suffolk as observers seek clear skies; some Cambridge astronomers are traveling to Spain or the Faroe Islands to see totality. The event runs roughly 18:15–20:00 BST, peaking around 19:12, and viewers are urged to wear certified eclipse glasses or use safe alternatives like a pinhole projector. The UK will have ESA livestream coverage on YouTube, and after sunset the Perseid meteor shower may be visible; total solar eclipse in the UK won’t occur again until 2090.

Colorado’s 2026 primary night is covered as a multi-city live blog from CPR, Denverite and KRCC, highlighting early results such as Julie Gonzales trailing Sen. John Hickenlooper in the Senate race and key contests for governor, attorney general, secretary of state, and several congressional districts. The coverage captures watch-party color, turnout context (about 1.1 million ballots returned by midday, mostly mail) and early dynamics like a surge of younger candidates and shifting demographics in CD8, with reporters noting issues from affordability to election access as results roll in.

Knicks Bring Back MSG Watch Parties Ahead of Finals Game 5

The Knicks will again host watch parties for Finals Game 5 outside Madison Square Garden, with events for up to 3,000 fans at Plaza 33, Central Park, and Radio City Music Hall (Radio City tickets cost $10; Plaza 33 and Central Park require registration). This follows earlier security-related cancellations of outdoor events (Game 3’s plans were scrapped due to Trump’s attendance; Game 4 was also canceled outside the arena despite a permit), though the city arranged broad public broadcasts. After a dramatic 107-106 Game 4 comeback to take a 3-1 series lead, New York can clinch the title in San Antonio on Saturday.
