On 12 August, a deep partial solar eclipse, with more than 90% of the sun obscured, will be followed just hours later by the peak of the Perseid meteor shower. Under a new moon, up to 100 meteors an hour could be visible in ideal conditions, with no moonlight to wash out fainter shooting stars. Thu, 23 Jul 2026 08:44:24 +0000
