Weather

Rain stopped play on the eclipse. It did grow rather dark, but there was no sign of the sun at all.

I saw a fairly big bite taken out of the sun back in the eighties, checking on the NASA page that was probably July 20th 1982, but I can't be sure. I do seem to remember it being in the evening and that correlates with the NASA eclipse data. It looks like Japan is due for another big partial eclipse on May 20th 2012.
