Check out the all-new Hermit Eclipse site! A wealth of information about past and future eclipses, including both solar and lunar eclipses, is now available at the main hermit.org Eclipse site. Total Eclipse of the Sun -- August 11, 1999 Cornwall UK, Europe, and Asia This map shows the area covered by the partial eclipse (blue) and the much narrower track of the total eclipse (red). The north/south(ish) lines show how far the centre of the eclipse zone will have progressed at various times, shown in Universal Time. The pages listed below provide a great deal more detail about the path of the eclipse, and some background information on how eclipses work.

The Big Event Coverage of the eclipse in Cornwall. Picture Gallery A gallery of photographs of the eclipse. Where It Is A comprehensive guide to the path of the total eclipse. Descriptions and detailed maps of the path the total eclipse will take across Britain, Europe and Asia; where to stand for the best view! Being There Being there is all the fun! Information on tourism for the eclipse, weather prospects, and an explanation of Universal Time and timezones along the eclipse path. Since Cornwall has special problems due to the tiny area of land which sees the eclipse, there is also a special page of Cornwall news for the eclipse.

It's All Over! It was a miserable, cloudy day in Cornwall -- so no cool pictures, I'm afraid! Still, feel free to check out my report on the event, and look at my pictures. Sign In! If you like this site, why not sign the hermit.org guest book? Caveat This information is not original work by me; it is simply a summary and interpretation of information available elsewhere (see the links page). While I've tried to reproduce and interpret this information accurately, I may have got it wrong. If I have, sorry, but I can't be held responsible. If you need accurate information, check the original sources. Clear Skies!
