Solar Eclipse
-
As you may know (if you live in the UK, it's been all over the news for days) there is a solar eclipse in UK / some of Europe today: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-31965456[^] And I look outside...and it's thick fog... :sigh: Never mind, it has a couple of hours to burn off. Last time we had a total eclipse in the UK (1999) Herself and I chucked a tent on the bike and buggered off to Cornwall for a week to see it. Had a great time, except for the eclipse itself: it poured down, thick - total - cloud cover and you couldn't "see" it at all. Still spectacular though. This time, we're in the 90% track, so if the fog lifts... Any of you in the 100% band? On board a north sea drilling platform perhaps?
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...
Don't look at the Sun, it's still dangerous even if only 10% is visible. The same goes for the Express and the Mail.

My old place would be in the 98% band. The guys in the West of Shetlands area, Schiehallion, Foinavon or Clair Ridge for example will probably be close to the 100% if not in it.

Extremely cloudy here as well, but we can just about get a glimpse of the eclipse through them... Epic :doh:

Me, all the timeClear skies, sun in right direction - and by heck the temperature in the back garden dropped quickly, even in our ~90% band. Herself watched it on TV "because the coverage was better" :sigh:

Yeah, well, I just hope the next one is better. That was in what? 24 years or so? :(

Use anything as a Pinhole camera: Even a colander can show you the image on a white wall - I'm using a simple hole to view, and there is a big chunk out of the sun here already.
