Bonnie Tyler had a total eclipse of the heart ....not a lot of people know that 

You can also use your phones camera, turn yourself with your back to the event, turn the camera angle so it's facing backwards like taking selfie and the sun/moon will appear on your screen. Better still if you have a selfie stick then you have more wriggle room to get your own face off screen. Unless you want a selfie with the eclipse behind you. That's how I'm doing it IF, I watch it. Been too tired for anything lately.

Had quick read. IMO nobody getting 13 years for manslaughter should be on early release. Some murder terms are less.

The current ones were called low level flush. It was once a feature highlighted by estate agents.

Ah,  but they showed you how to do this on the Weather tonight, Vladsy.

Turn your back to the sun,  hold the colander up so that the sun shines through it, and at the same time hold a sheet of blank white paper behind the colander and that way you will see it safely produced on the paper.
Not sure what to expect,  but I'm gonna try it anyway. 


*  If anyone is interested,  here is the expected timetable:

Depending on where you are planning to watch the eclipse from, the timing for the event varies slightly:

• London & South-East: The partial eclipse begins at 18:17 BST, reaches its maximum depth (about 90% coverage) at 19:13 BST, and concludes by 20:06 BST. [1]
• North-West England (Manchester/Liverpool): First contact begins at 18:13 BST, with the maximum eclipse hitting at 19:10 BST. [1]
• Scotland: The initial signs of the eclipse will be visible earliest, starting at roughly 18:08 BST.
