Twozzok Posted October 2, 2005 Share Posted October 2, 2005 so when should this thing be starting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackfox Posted October 2, 2005 Author Share Posted October 2, 2005 In London, this partial eclipse starts at 08:48BST and ends at 11:18BST. You didn't click the link, did you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Offerman Posted October 2, 2005 Share Posted October 2, 2005 so when should this thing be starting? It says 8.48BST in London so it can't vary that much accross the UK. I'm actually rather excited about this, because the last time we had an eclipse, albeit the fact that one was a proper one, I was in America.

Ash Posted October 2, 2005 Share Posted October 2, 2005 What is BST, What is it in GMT? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Offerman Posted October 2, 2005 Share Posted October 2, 2005 What is BST, What is it in GMT? British Summer Time, and Greenwich Mean Time. In the Summer when the clocks go forwards we enter BST, and then again in the Winter or Autumn when we go backwards we enter GMT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackfox Posted October 2, 2005 Author Share Posted October 2, 2005 British Summer Time, and Greenwich Mean Time. In the Summer when the clocks go forwards we enter BST, and then again in the Winter or Autumn when we go backwards we enter GMT. Thanks for that, i always thought BST meant 'British Standard Time' or something stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Offerman Posted October 2, 2005 Share Posted October 2, 2005 Thanks for that, i always thought BST meant 'British Standard Time' or something stupid. You..might actually be correct that Sir. Its definitly either Summer or Standard...but I know thats the transition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jordan Posted October 2, 2005 Share Posted October 2, 2005 Its summer, we change it to it during the summer... so it would make sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
