Amazon Eclipse Glasses Fall to 66p Each Before Rare UK Event
- August 2026 presents a rare lineup of celestial events, with a partial solar eclipse on August 12 covering around 90% of the Sun over the UK and Ireland, followed by a near-total lunar eclipse on August 27-28.
- The August 12 solar eclipse demands certified eye protection because ordinary sunglasses cannot safely block the Sun's intense radiation; NASA recommends viewers use ISO 12312-2 certified glasses like Galaxium to prevent eye damage.
- On August 27-28, Earth's shadow will immerse 96.2% of the Moon, creating a deep partial lunar eclipse known as the full 'Sturgeon Moon' visible across North America, South America, Europe, and Africa.
- The Perseid meteor shower peaks August 12-13 under moonless skies, offering ideal viewing conditions with over 100 meteors per hour possible; early risers can also observe Mercury, Jupiter, and Saturn in a morning planetary parade throughout August.
- Northern lights season returns in late August as Arctic darkness deepens; skywatchers in Alaska, northern Canada, Iceland, and Scandinavia may witness the first aurora displays if clear skies and strong solar activity align.
