CurlyWhirly Posted October 3, 2005 Report Share Posted October 3, 2005 I missed it as well due to thick cloud.Back in 1999 I also missed the total eclipse as it was also cloudy and what was worse was that it was a total eclipse (as opposed to an annular eclipse today) and the next one won't be visible from the UK mainland until 23rd September 2090 :oI actually went to Cornwall to see it and all I can remember about it was that the sky turned dark for a few minutes but it was eerie!A chance of a lifetime spoiled by cloud :angry: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-pops- Posted October 3, 2005 Report Share Posted October 3, 2005 I read about this eclipse on Ceefax yesterday. Stupid fools didn't reveal a time for it. It was clear here at its appointed happening which I found out afterwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
