Future solar eclipses, mapped
None in the UK in my lifetime, alas, but it looks like we should be booking 2026 holidays in Bilbao now.

Good stuff. Perhaps getting hammered somewhere near Mendoza in 2019 would be fun...

Great Britain, maps, statistics and train stations. If this doesn't get BB&F back, nothing will http://www.citymetric.com/transport/...n-station-3165

I am obviously rather chuffed to discover this.

Ah, the animation on Wikipedia makes it looks like the line of totality might actually be over Buenos Aires just after sunset, in fact. Bugger! I wonder if it'll be visible at 100% from Rosario. Got a couple of friends there ...

Holy moly. Interested in old Ordnance Survey maps of England? Intrigued by the idea of wasting a gigantic amount of time faffing happily around on the internet? Step this way...

Originally posted by Sam View PostFantastic, that. It looks a tad far north for Mendoza, though (is there a way to zoom in?). But it does look very like it's going to end right over Buenos Aires, so if anyone wants to come down for it I assure you it's very easy to get hammered here too (and I'll be happy to help you do so). Mendoza's fucking freezing at this time of year anyway.

Ah, passing right over some of the less pleasant bits of Greater Buenos Aires, at a time of day when traffic is going to be a nightmare. Maybe I can talk my girlfriend into taking the day off work and we can drive out to Chacabuco or Junín or something.
