An Unforgettable Total Eclipse
The United Kingdom is one of few countries in significant shadow of the August 2026 solar eclipse
August 12, 2026 Western Europe
The Moon’s shadow will race towards Europe from across the Arctic Ocean passing Greenland & Iceland.
Once the shadow hits land, the United Kingdom is extremely well placed in the path of a minimum 89% eclipsed Sun.
Over 200 million people across western Europe will experience this rare astronomical phenomenon.
Eye protection is essential
Standard sunglasses WILL NOT protect eyes from looking directly at the Sun.
The Celestron Solar Safe range allows safe direct viewing of the Sun.
SOLAR WARNING
Never look directly at the Sun with the naked eye or a non-filtered telescope or binocular. Permanent and irreversible eye damage may result.
Never look through a telescope or binocular that does not have a specific solar filter installed, even when wearing eclipse glasses. Permanent and irreversible eye damage may result.
To safely observe the Sun, always use with ISO-compliant eye protection, such as EclipSmart by Celestron.
Follow all manufacturer instructions carefully before use.
