And it's LIVE! ..in the link above.
Anyone else care? I must say there's something awesome about it. I was a 9 year old kid back in 1999 when the south West of the UK had the last one, living in Cardiff my whole life I was pretty close to Devon where we last had it and can remember being taken out to the playground yard to see it and finding it amazing.
I heard the next UK one is in 2090 unfortunately but heard there's going to be one in Spain in the next few years or 20 years.

Just in from totality. I am impressed. only lasted in full for a minute and half, but wow. Eerie silence where birdsong is everywhere usually. Still quiet.

Exactly what happened in 1999. Birds just stopped singing.

Quite jealous I can't lie. I remember going out into the playground in 1999 to try see it but can't remember if we got a good view of it or not.

Quite an amazing phenomenon, hope I get the chance to see another one, seems unlikely.

I went to Cornwall in '99 to see the eclipse
was spooky for sure when it went pitch black & the birds shut the fack up for a while, but it was cloudy so you couldn't actually see the sun become blocked out by the moon and the halo etc

I'll be booking up for the one that goes across spain in 2026, for sure... Should be a very high chance of blue skies in August. It also goes through Iceland, which would be amazing, but bigger concerns about weather.

I’ve made 3 attempts to go to Porto over the years which have all been thwarted by either dust clouds, Covid or industrial action
I’ve pencilled in 12/08/26 as my last attempt 😹
