JetSet Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 Weather permitting this will be our last chance to see an eclipse of this magnitude in our lifetime. The further North you live the better the eclipse will be but it'll still be pretty spectacular even along the south coast. For those living in London some 85% of the suns surface will be covered, Liverpool 90%, Inverness 95%. Starts around 8:15 am Pete 9 Quote
Zedd Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 Fingers crossed its not cloudy, love stuff like this! Quote
Wasso Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 Perfect for me as the sun glares in my face heading down the M40 every morning, so I'll have a slight reprieve from that blinding sun. 1 Quote

JetSet Posted February 26, 2015 Author Posted February 26, 2015 Balls I'm in vegas! Nevermind, there's a total eclipse crossing from west to east in the northern United States in August 2017, the first time this has happened since 1918. Some very fortunate people in a small area of Illinois, Missouri and Kentucky will also get to see the April 2024 total eclipse as well as the 2017 one. The next one after that is in 2099. http://www.eclipse2017.org/2017/overlap.htm Pete Quote

Jetpilot Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 I went to see the last one by boat, we were about 12 miles offshore, there were loads of boats out, it was pretty eerie when it all went dark and you could no longer see the other boats. Quote
Grundy Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 Nothing down south set. Still being blinded by the sun as I check! #teamtarmac Quote
