Why the UK is Looking Up for the August 2026 Solar Eclipse

The spike in search interest is driven by the release of practical viewing guides for the August 12, 2026, partial solar eclipse, which will be the deepest visible from the UK since 2015. Observers are particularly interested in the event's overlap with the peak of the Perseid meteor shower, which will follow just hours after the eclipse.
