Sun Eclipse over Europe

For a few more minutes you can watch it in a live stream here: http://www.ndr.de/nachrichten/niedersachsen/Beste-Bedingungen-fuer-Freunde-der-Finsternis,sonnenfinsternis148.html

Strange looking outside with the sun shining from clear blue skies, but the light it casts is so much dimmer than normally.

I happened to mention this event in the "what are you doing" thread a little earlier this morning: we've just been watching the image safely, as recommended. Quite interesting, for a few minutes.

It was more fun to speculate upon how the various life-forms known collectively as "people" up and down the land have been burning out their retinal tissue with other observational techniques. I wouldn't dare mention any of them here because some of them can read, might see it, and think I'm serious.

:hmmm:
Shouldn't this event signal some kind of purge over that side of the pond?
Like burn squirrels on the stake or something?
:haha:

[BossMark]

Too bloody cloudy here in Leeds to see sod all :nope:

Burn the squirrels anyway.
:yep:
Just incase.

:har: Just don't ever tell that guy who knocks down walls for you there's going to be an eclipse. He will come back with black holes where his eyes used to be.

I'm pretty sure if I mention 'eclipse'?
I'll be seeing a blank look.

Never bothered, not really interested, seen em before.

[STEED]

Where? Bright clear day today, nothing happened.

Bloody early April fools gag! :hulk::hulk::hulk::hulk:

But you won't see them again. ;)
Next one will be in 2081.

No problem for jim he's a Highlander as long as he keeps his head.

Here's my photo of it. I was inside an office with tinted windows, and it was cloudy enough to see without spending the rest of the day going 'ow, my eyes, my eyes'.

Funny, they said here that the next will be in 2026.
Well I only saw the final, at 9:00 the sun was to low for me to see it from my home, do to the neighbour building.
About the eyes, I used a developed piece of film, b&w or slide, the header is always full black and dense, so one can see the sun with out danger.

[Fubar2Niner]

Like Steed and BossMark saw bugger all here, it got dark, then it got light again. Was just the big man hitting the dimmer switch I'll bet :sunny:

[Jimbuna]

Then I'll hardly miss it :)

Rubbish man........ We get them here allll the time. It's like castles, we're made of them, everyone has a castle here, bloody castles everywhere :up:

[Tango589]

I was looking forward to the eclipse, and what happened? The bleedin' moon got in the way!:nope:

[Schroeder]

Funny, they said here that the next will be in 2026.

Well, Germany is a few meters further north.:O:

:hmm2: Hmmm, you know, you might have a point there!:hmmm::up:

[Eichhörnchen]

Cracking photo, HB...

[Schroeder]

:hmm2: Hmmm, you know, you might have a point there!:hmmm::up:
Actually they just said on the news the next one will be in 2022 here as well. No idea why they said earlier it would be 2081. Maybe that will be the next total eclipse while the one in 2022 will just be a partial one.:hmm2:

It'll also depend on where you are in the world.

Yes, but they said earlier that the next one here at the center of the universe (which is my hometown of course!) will be in 2081 while then stating later that it will be in 2022...my location hasn't changed since the first statement...:hmph:

Maybe something happened to the location of the moon to bring about this change?
