Motorists are being told that they may need to turn on their headlights this evening as the country prepares to plunge into darkness with the solar eclipse. Millions of people across the UK and Europe are eagerly anticipating the historic solar eclipse taking place tonight. Many people have scrambled to find the correct glasses to safely watch the solar eclipse, with this being the UK's most significant eclipse since 1999. The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) states that there are two safe approaches to watch the eclipse, notably specialist glasses or indirect viewing methods. The Royal Museums Greenwich, which is a UKHSA-recommended seller of eclipse glasses, reported that it had sold out both online and in store.
