Total Eclipse Darkens England and Wales Making Historic View
Millions gathered as a rare total eclipse swept the British Isles today. The eclipse began over the Atlantic near Ireland and moved across Carnarvonshire and North Wales before darkening England from Liverpool to the North Sea. The event drew observers from Britain and abroad, with millions estimated on site. The path crossed Lancashire, Yorkshire and Durham, then reached the East coast between Sunderland and Saltburn before continuing into the North Sea. The eclipse lasted a short duration, caused by low sun altitude, and shadows traveled about 90 miles per minute. The phenomenon marked Britain’s first total eclipse since 1724 and not to return until 1999.
