Solar eclipse

[Shelly]

Who's looking forward to the eclipse
It should be darkness where I am about 9.31
I will be on my way to work , so I'd better put my lights on
It will be a lovely sight
Remember don't look at the sun with you naked eyes

I hope it's better than the last one....that was very disappointing.

I will be at work in an office with no windows.

 

[Shelly]

Yeah I can remember the last one
I was a bit disappointed too
O dear @Gail
Can't you get out of the office for 5mins

 

[Gail]

Actually I've just remembered @Shelly that I have an errand to run before work so will probably be in the car too.

 

[Shelly]

That's good @Gail
Enjoy

Watch it in a bucket of water, it works.

Really
Will have to take a bucket to work with me then

 

[hard top]

It realy works @Shelly, did it quite a few years ago outside the office and it saves your eyes.

Hot or cold water?

Hot or cold water?

Tepid water is best used on this kind of project.

Hot or cold water?

Clear or soapy water?

 

[hard top]

Tap water but you could use demineralized water.

 

[Shelly]

Think you can use any kind of water
The reflection will be great
Might try this
Just hope their isn't a hole in my bucket

 

[billz]

So how do you stop the water from coming out the bucket, do a hand stand, but then you can only see the ground

Sit on the bucket and you'll get a really good close-up of the Moon's reflection!

 

[billz]

But if you sit on the bucket then the water will escape into the ground therefore defeating the object of putting water in it first

I was at work when the last one occurred and sent out to collect some spares from work. I remember going down Lincoln high street and it was truly weird, like a ghost town crossed by the twilight zone as it got dark. We were discussing it with son and daughter -in-law this evening and saying how scary these must have been for the ancients who didn't know what was happening.
