Eclipse 12th August 2026

The last total eclipse visible in the UK was 1999 (and the next with equivalent totality in June 2151!) so yesterday's event was quite significant though not as spectacular as a lot of people who gathered on the highest point in Toft were expecting with the hype from the media. Certainly the light values fell at the time of totality and the colour of the light moved to the bluer end of the spectrum.
