The Solar Eclipse

Before I start I will mention a huge safety warning - don't look directly at the sun without protection, this may damage your eyesight!
Tomorrow, we will have a solar eclipse, where the sun's light is partially obscured (or totally obscured) by the moon, here in England, around 94% of the sun's light is expected to be obscured, although in typical British fashion it's meant to be cloudy which makes viewing the eclipse very difficult! Having said that, we will still be in relative darkness for about 90 minutes. It's the first time this has happened for 15 years. 
If you're interested in actually viewing or photographing the eclipse then take a look at this information - http://www.bbc.co.uk/guides/zcytpv4

If you're hoping the next one is fairly soon, it's actually in over 10 years time! You can view the next 7,000 years worth of solar eclipses here- http://eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov/solar.html, although you might be in for a bit of a wait for the next one!
