UK to See Rare Solar Eclipse in the Skies Next Month - When It Is and How to See It
The evening will include smart scopes, free eclipse glasses and on-site astronomers as the UK is expected to lose sight of around 90% of the sun.
- The Doncaster Astronomical Society will host a free public viewing event on Wednesday, August 12, at the Austerfield Study Centre from 5.30pm to 8.30pm for the partial solar eclipse.
- On August 12, the Moon will obscure around 90% of the Sun across Britain, creating an eerie twilight effect as it blocks the light during the early evening.
- Attendees will have access to high-tech "smart scopes" for close-up views of the Sun, while expert astronomers will remain on-site to answer questions about the celestial phenomenon.
- Official advice states, "Ordinary sunglasses- no matter how dark- do not provide adequate protection" for viewing, so organisers will provide free certified eclipse glasses to all attendees.
- While the event is free, contributions are encouraged to fund future community astronomy initiatives, marking one of the most significant celestial displays visible from the UK in 30 years.
