Solar Eclipse UK Edition

Tweet

This was my most favourite photo among the dozens I took of yesterday’s partial eclipse in the UK. So happy to have witnessed a rare moment of the moon taking a bite of the sun. There’s something magical about watching the daylight change during an eclipse. A solar eclipse happens when the Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun, temporarily blocking some or all of the Sun’s light. This 12 August 2026 eclipse was especially spectacular, with much of the UK experiencing a very deep partial eclipse, while parts of the world saw totality. This one will always have a special place in my photo collection.
