That easyjet flight looks like it was fun!
Doesn't appear to have ended well.

to the event as seen by The Riders on the Malvern Hills this morning. Eerie morning twilight in the east, quiet and quite lovely. PS feel free to like my page 🙂
Was cloudy but good South of Bristol, my 3 year old called it the "moon sun" which delivered on aesthetics and solar reality I think!
I rode up to the top of Cragg Vale on the way to work to watch it. Luckily there was just enough cloud so that you could look at it with only sunglasses. It did get bloody cold, and the light was quite eerie.
I asked my 10 year old if they were going to watch it at school, and she said yes they were and that her teacher had told them to bring sunglasses in 😯
I missed a load of it as I was having a massive shit 🙁 😆 I got out on the road bike in time to see some of it though.
Made a short stop motion video of it for e-mailing around the school - of the BBC footage.
Got my own photos, but really nothing's going to beat this from the ESA 😀

With my genes and medical advancements 2090 is a fair bet.
Quite amused by people showing their photos of the eclipse - there are much better ones on the web!
I know we aren't a community where people are always gushing and positive
But surely there is some spirit of doing it for your self
I ride a bike when others are more skilled andf faster
I cook when I can eat out and have better
I take photographs when others can do better
But I enjoy all these things
and
I'm enjoying all the eclipse photos
Lovely clouds out on the ride so you could look at the sun and see the eclipse perfect views. sat by some woods listening to the birds song on a bike ride
Camera phone picture failed though
This is the best shot today, surely... http://singletrackworld.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/redbull-danny-eclipse-the-sun/

Boooorrrriiiinnngggg !
I mean soooooo boring.
Nothing, nadda, now't, zip, squat, bugger all, nuffin, just cloud and a bit of dullness.
We walked all the way around Thorney Island to get a view, Ok so we knew it'd be cloudy but hey, we made the effort... I want my money back.
Phah.
I slept through the whole eclipse I mean it is so nice to have day off and a good sleep. I will not get out of bed for this. Not even dramatic enough ... no one went amok. 😀
Those silvered glasses can be a hazard, I nearly fell off the flat roof of our house in Kernow '99.
How everybody else saw it in the UK today:

This is marvellous - taken in Spain.

Missed it this morning. So i have recreated the event, using a ceiling lamp and a dark chocolate digestive:

And just like the real deal, you'll have to wait a while to see another "eclipse" because i ate the "moon" shortly after the pic was taken........

Sadly, not only was it cloudy here in N.Wilts, I was stuck indoors, and I even took my eclipse glasses to work with me.
Humph. Bugger. 😐
Excellent, were there no jaffacakes available?
Did everyone remember NOT to look directly at Dr Brian Cox? You must always wear suitable eye protection, even when he's not on screen.
Correct me if I'm wrong maxtorque, but the apparent size of your moon seems to be smaller than the apparent size of your sun, so you'd only get an annular, not a total eclipse.
The size is fine, its the orbit that is wrong.
Still the best shot on here though!
