Solar Eclipse 1999

A solar eclipse
took place in
the south west
of England
on
11 August 1999

It began at
11:11 am
and lasted
2 minutes

Here's a small
collection of
pictures
taken from
Plymouth Hoe
as 50,000
people watched
the event of a
lifetime

As you can see
it was overcast

We didn't need
our solar specs
but it was still
awe inspiring!
