Hm, I thought there'd be coming a solar eclipse, considering the moon being 'close' to the sun these days...

Unfortunately we're expecting snow this evening, so there won't be anything to see. :-(

@ blobrana & cecilia

Thanks for information about this. I've stayed up till after 4AM UK time and have just seen the white edge of the moon coming back into view. But it's been covered again by cloud after just a few moments.

Oh well! :sleep:
