Today is a special day and one that will not be repeated for 100,000 years. Many people of various religious beliefs think that the happenings of today could indicate the start of the end of the world because of how rare the 2 events of today are.
Firstly today is Ostara, also known as the spring equinox and means that there is as much daylight as there is darkness as both are equal, some people believe that the spring equinox is actually tomorrow not today, but I have always believed it to be 20th March and that's what google says. So happy thoughts for Ostara if you celebrate.
Secondly today is a Solar Eclipse through out the UK and parts of the world. It was seen by many but many others, myself included saw nothing due to cloud coverage and rain. This was a great shame as I had hoped to get at least 1 nice picture but this is the best I could get:
Although it went dark it was more grey and linked to the cloud and rain rather the eclipse and some of the street lights did come on. They had said that Cumbria was meant to be one of the best places to see it but it wasn't.
