The final stages of the Eclipse
Just after 8 am on January 15th the skies suddenly darkened and the birds began to sing as the annular eclipse of the sun took place. We very lucky as the thick bank of cloud hat had been hanging over Nairobi cleared just long enough to give us the most incredible view through our very high tech goggles ( a piece of cardboard with two layers of exposed black and white film taped across an opening!). This was a particularly special annual eclipse as it was the longest one of the millennium and there won’t be another as long until December 23 3043!
