Our Upcoming Solar Eclipse

There’s an eclipse coming up on August 12th and it will be visible from High Legh – weather permitting, of course.

The path of totality will cross Greenland, Iceland, Spain and a small area of north eastern Portugal. Other parts of Europe – including the UK – will see a partial solar eclipse.  In High Legh we should observe 92% of the Sun’s disk covered by the Moon… unless the clouds and/or trees get in the way ☹

In anticipation, this month’s talk will be a brief overview of eclipses followed by the detail of the August event.
