AGP Executive Report
Last update: an hour agoSkywatching in Greenland’s neighbourhood: The August 12, 2026 solar eclipse is set to darken parts of Europe, with the totality path sweeping across Greenland, Iceland and northern Spain—while the UK and much of Europe get a deep partial view. Safety first: Experts are urging viewers to use certified ISO 12312-2 eclipse glasses (and not old “1999” pairs), warning that regular sunglasses and DIY filters can still cause permanent eye damage. What to expect (UK timing): In London, the eclipse starts around 6:17pm, peaks about 7:12pm, and ends by 8:06pm—no full totality in the UK, but a dramatic “bite” out of the Sun. Eclipse culture: The event is also sparking playlists, stargazing guides, and even smartphone photo tips—plus a reminder that the Perseids meteor shower peaks overnight with unusually dark skies thanks to a new moon. Travel & entertainment tie-ins: National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions has also announced its 2028–29 deployment, including Arctic and Europe itineraries for future sky-chasers.
