An Entity of Type : owl:Thing, within Data Space : dbkwik.org associated with source dataset(s)

The 11th August 1999 solar eclipse was the first total eclipse of the sun visible in Britain since 29th June 1927. The path of its totality began in the Atlantic Ocean and touched Cornwall, then moved across central Europe, South West Asia and dissipated in the Bay of Bengal. Although the effect of the eclipse in the UK outside of Cornwall was not total, it was nevertheless a spectacular natural phenomenon to be witnessed from all parts of the country and a once in a lifetime opportunity for most citizens as the next such eclipse will not be until 23rd September 2090.
