I think I was fourteen when the last eclipse happened - it was really
good to see twilight fall, the black disc where the sun should be, feel
suddenly quite cold, and then have it all change back again.

None of that this time. The light changed slightly to an evening colour
but didn't reduce significantly and the temperature didn't noticeably
change.
The 'near-totality thing wasn't at all evident. We saw a quarter, then
half, and that was about it.

The clouds returned when it was all over, then it got a bit darker.


I can't say I even noticed. Moron hear:

I see you show it as a total solar eclipse but it was only a partial (up
to 97% to the south of Iceland apparently). You also show it as
happening at 10:46 when 09:46 would seem closer. I'm probably missing
something so feel free to correct me.
