August promises an extraordinary celestial event, with a total solar eclipse in Leo on 12 August and a lunar eclipse in Pisces on 28 August, providing skywatchers with a rare double act of cosmic choreography.
August’s eclipse season is shaping up to be a proper double act. According to The Cut, the month opens with a total solar eclipse in Leo on 12 August and closes with a lunar eclipse in Pisces on 28 August, making it one of the more dramatic celestial stretches of the year. For skywatchers, that means a rare chance to see the Moon and Sun performing their very neat, very spooky choreography in real time. NASA and Space.com both note that the solar eclipse will be visible as a total eclipse only along a narrow path, while much of the Northern Hemisphere will see a partial one.
