Episode Details

Get ready for a cosmic spectacle—on August 12, 2026, the UK and Ireland will witness a dramatic partial solar eclipse, with up to 90% of the sun blocked by the moon. Lucky viewers in Greenland, Iceland, or northern Spain will see a total eclipse, the biggest UK coverage since 1999. The moon will drift across the sun in the late afternoon, peaking around 7:10 PM in Liverpool, creating eerie twilight-like conditions—but never total darkness. Crucially, NEVER look directly at the sun, even during the eclipse—it can permanently damage your eyes. After this dazzling solar event, brace for another celestial treat: a partial lunar eclipse on August 28, with the moon turning a haunting red as it slips into Earth’s shadow around 5:12 AM.
