UK’s Rare Partial Solar Eclipse | Leeds News

Don’t miss this rare celestial spectacle: a dramatic 90% partial solar eclipse sweeping across the UK on Wednesday, August 12th — the most significant in nearly 30 years. While Greenland and Spain get totality, we’re still in for an awe-inspiring show. Total eclipses are ultra-rare, occurring roughly once every 400 years at any given spot, with the next one not until 2090. Safety first: NEVER look directly at the sun without certified ISO 12312-2 eclipse glasses. If you can’t find them, whip up a pinhole projector from cardboard and foil — easy, educational, and safe. Or stream it live from the Royal Observatory if you’re staying indoors. Your eyes will thank you. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
