partial solar eclipse

[julesjones]

Partial solar eclipse this morning across Europe, northern Africa and western & southern Asia. Maximum eclipse at sunrise in the UK -- worth looking for if you can see anything through the cloud, but don't look directly at the sun even in partial eclipse.

I got a quick glimpse as the sun cleared the hedges and trees before it hit the cloud, but it was too late to be impressive.

I must have wanted to see it because I woke in the night thinking, "that's where I put the glasses!" followed by "no chance of retrieving them then." So it's black card and a pinhole to puzzle any visitors.

Heavy cloud here, so saw nothing other than the half hour just after sunrise was noticeably gloomier than normal even for heavy cloud cover. :-(
