ALT Top tips for safely watching the eclipse. The UK's skies are set for an impressive partial solar eclipse. Here's how to make the most of it, without risking your eyes. Find a clear view. You don't necessarily need to travel to the place with he highest eclipse coverage. Clear skies matter most. Find an unobstructed view towards the west or northwest, here the Sun will be low in the evening sky.
ALT Never look directly at the Sun. Even during an eclipse, looking at the Sun with your naked eyes can cause permanent eye damage. Never look directly at the Sun without proper solar viewing equipment. Standard sunglasses are not enough. Use certified eclipse glasses. Make sure they: Meet the ISO 12312-2 safety standard; Are designed for solar viewing; Have no scratches, holes or tears.
ALT Try indirect viewing. No eclipse glasses? You can safely watch by projecting the Sun's image. Make a pinhole projector, even using two pieces of paper and a pin can work. A kitchen colander can also create a fun projection of the eclipsed Sun. Stick around for the meteors. The Perseid meteor shower also peaks this week and can be visible across the UK. For the best chance of seeing meteors, get somewhere dark with a wide, unobstructed view of the sky. Advice based on guidance from the Royal Astronomical Society.
