On August 11, a total eclipse of the sun will be visible in parts of Europe and Eurasia. This site will help users in those regions prepare and allow others to learn about eclipses. This BBC site features a location finder, weather information, general eclipse information, important safety tips, feature stories, archived BBC coverage of eclipses dating back to 1954, and related links. For more eclipse resources, see the In the News section from the August 4, 1999 Scout Report for Science & Engineering.
