As was expected, there were no little circular suns on the ground: I'm not sure what you mean by 'little circular suns on the ground' but what you certainly seem to have are crescent shape patches of light which are an indicator or an eclipse. However I thought that this only happened in conditions very close to totality, say 98-99%. During the August 1999 event here when it was something like 92-93% totality I looked for this effect but didn't see it. What was the % totality in Athens? I thought that the track of the eclipse has passed way south into Sudan by the time it had reached your longitude. Col -- Bolton, Lancashire. 160m asl. I don't know if it's because I'm little further south than you Col, but I certainly noticed crescent shaped patches of light here. When I was walking through a long narrow avenue of trees.

I'm just wondering if you could reproduce this effect at home by making a
crescent-shaped hole in a piece of card which you'd then hold up to a light. Would you get these little crescent-shaped patterns if you shone the light through something appropriate (like foliage)? You could experiment with different sizes of cresent. I must try it! ally |
