Eclipse
ANNULAR ECLIPSE OF THE SUN. In the afternoon of the 15th inst. there will be an unusually large and visible annular Eclipse of the Sun, which will be central in the North of England, Ireland, and in the South of Scotland. It will begin at Greenwich at 50 min. 59 sec. past one o'clock, and will end at 39 min. 8 sec. past four. Over England and the adjacent parts the light and heat of the annular obscuration will be little more than one-tenth of the full sun; and should the atmosphere prove to be clear at the time of the greatest magnitude, it may be expected that several of the largest stars will be visible. The breadth of the annulus for England will be about 142 miles. The whole body of the moon will appear on the disc of the sun, leaving a small ring or circle of light on the external edge of the sun. The annexed is a representation of its appearance in London and its neighbourhood, - the letter B denoting where the eclipse begins, and E where it ends.
