Solar Eclipse

Live Stream, Calendar, Dates, Locations

Worldwide, Various Dates (See Calendar below)

A solar or lunar eclipse is one of those rare natural events that attracts interest around the world, with a fascination that goes right back to the earliest days of humanity, where the event would be variously interpreted by ancient civilisations as representing the will of whichever deity they were embracing at the time.

I remember my first solar eclipse as a young child, watching through a chunk of welding glass provided by my Grandad with the usual exhortations to never look directly at the sun, sage advice that a worrying number of people continue to ignore.

The total eclipse is obviously the ultimate, casting darkness over the earth during daytime hours, and if you can get to somewhere where one of these is due to take place then I highly recommend you do so.
