Aug 12: Poland's deepest solar eclipse in 27 years coincides with Perseid peak

On Wednesday 12 August, the Moon will cover up to 85 percent of the Sun's disc just before sunset — Poland's deepest solar eclipse in 27 years. The same night marks the peak of the Perseid meteor shower, creating an exceptional double astronomical spectacle. Astronomers encourage people to observe both events using protective glasses and appropriate equipment.
