OK, so Britain will have a partial eclipse tomorrow morning, but the weather down here looks absolutely overcast! Seriously what is the point of an eclipse when it will be overcast - just bloody typical!
Anyways, what do you think?
Do you have any knowledge about astronomy? feel free to add stuff on here...
How will you cope in almost 2 hours twilight tomorrow between 8 and 10 in the morning?
It's forecast to be partly cloudy here, so we might see something hopefully. It's supposed to be around 91%, so although not a full eclipse, it's still something I'd like to see.
Some astronomer in the local rag reckons that there will be no noticeable difference in the light, which surprised me a little. The power of the Sun I guess.
Was pretty cloudy for the 1999 one too but became noticeably darker.
Did you not see the one in 1999 Jas?
Yes I was 4, and I remember the day went to night... Being 4 I got a bit worried, but dad told me it's an eclipse and it will be over with soon. My Grandad also filmed the whole eclipse in Swanage, where there was a little bit of cloud break.

Yea, I was wondering if it would actually affect the light... From what I've read, like news articles and my college website, seem to suggest that it will be like twilight for 2 hours, and the temperature may get colder... But I remember a partial solar eclipse in 2006 when I was 11 - and I didn't notice a thing!
I have set my alarm my part of Britain ( NE Scotland ) and South Wales are meant to have the best conditions supposedly but the weather report talk crap a lot in my experience.
