What's 'BST'?

BST stands for British Summer Time, which is the daylight saving time observed in the UK during the summer months. It's one hour ahead of Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). The eclipse timings given in the story, like 03:33 BST, are specific to this time zone, helping people in the UK know exactly when to look up.
