On Friday, the moon devoured the sun – The Tribuno.com.ar



00:30 – Although the clouds affect vision in several countries, the phenomenon was seen in the northern hemisphere and was followed by internet worldwide.

The moon covered the sun last Friday during the total solar eclipse which was lackluster in many parts of the northern hemisphere for cloudy weather. The show was full only admire from a remote Arctic archipelago or board a plane.
Populations of Europe, northwest Africa and Asia and the Middle East expected to contemplate at leisure the phenomenon, but in most cases were no clouds and the moon which hid the sun king.
Social networks were launched to comment on this astral appointment, largely damaged part, and in them the more or less shared space with masterful photos jokes observers disappointed.
In the UK, Spain and France cloudy weather ruined the show. Only a privileged few could circumvent the clouds and watch from a plane’s “black sun”.
Upon payment of several hundred euros per head, 50 Danes boarded a Boeing 737 chartered for the occasion. But even there faced some drawbacks: “Since the soil can hear the birds behave differently and feel the temperature drops,” said one of the passengers, Valentin Mikkelsen, before boarding the unit. “And may not see everything, so small that they are the windows,” noted Professor 63 years.
For the tenth time since the beginning of the century, was total solar eclipse, but could only see the entire phenomenon from remote areas of the planet.
Thousands of eclipse chasers, sometimes arrived from the antipodes, traveled to the Faroe Islands, an autonomous Danish territory north of the UK, and Svalbard (Norway), 1,300 kilometers polo North, amid the Arctic to witness the spectacle. In Svalbard, just released four months of polar night, locals and visitors could see the night in broad daylight for two and a half minutes.
