Eclipse & Meteor Shower Tonight | Leicester News

Tonight’s sky is a cosmic double feature: a dramatic solar eclipse peaks at 7 PM, blocking 90% of the sun — the biggest since 1999 — followed by the Perseid meteor shower hitting its peak. With a new moon lighting up the night, skies will be pitch black, making meteors easier to spot than ever. This rare combo won’t return until 2045 — so grab your blankets, head away from city lights, and watch the heavens dance. And for the eclipse? Never look directly at the sun — use certified eclipse glasses or a pinhole projector to stay safe. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
