Astronomy fans across the UK were treated to an astral delight overnight as the best solar eclipse in decades was followed by the peak of the annual Perseid meteor shower. More than 90% of the Sun was obscured by the Moon, the most it has been blocked above UK skies since the total eclipse in 1999. Crowds of people could be seen at viewing spots in different locations – including the Royal Observatory Greenwich, London, Stonehenge in Wiltshire, Calton Hill, Edinburgh, and outside Queen’s University in Belfast. Speaking with The Telegraph's Poppy Coburn, Talk's Ian Collins says: "I wanted what Bonnie Tyler sung in that song. That's what I was hoping for. And what I got was overcast!" #solareclipse #astronomy #iancollins #talk Have you got a story?
