Partial eclipse
« on: January 02, 2011, 06:56:28 PM »

In case you didn't know, there will be a partial eclipse of the sun on Tuesday 4th visible in the UK between about 07:00 and 09:30, with a maximum magnitude of 0.77 at 08:15 (these figures are for Norwich, see http://www.eclipse.org.uk/eclipse/0122011/Norwich_United_Kingdom_2011Jan04.png ).

Remember NEVER look directly at the sun. ;)
