Solar Eclipse Webcasts

Posted by michael on from the goggles-do-nothing dept.

KjetilK writes "There is a nice partial solar eclipse in the morning of May 31. On Greenland, Iceland and northern Scotland it will be annular, whereas in most of northern Europe (and reaching into Asia), it will be a normal partial solar eclipse. There are several webcasts of the event coming up, including some from Netherlands and Belgium. Plugging our own, we have live webcasts from four cities in Norway. The eclipse comes up to 92% of the sun's radius here, and we have a great weather forecast."

    Why doesn't the Universe have a sense of timing? Whenever there are moon eclipses where I live, it's either cloudy or reeeaally early in the morning.

    Now, there's a solar eclipse... Woohoo! Next is in 100+ years. And the time it's going to happen where I live:

    Saturday, 5:40 am, forecast is cloudy.

    WTF!
