Eclipse watching with y13 when the sun came out (to go in), briefly.

[VirtualAstro @VirtualAstro]

There will be a partial solar eclipse over the UK tomorrow morning.
The eclipse starts at 10.08am and will reach maximum at 11.14am
You will need eye protection to view it safely and it may be visible through thin cloud.
The sun will appear to have had a bite taken out of it.
