The account of the total solar eclipse over Cornwall on 11 August 1999.

This DVD records the historic Eclipse of 1999. It was the first total eclipse of the sun to occur over Cornwall since 22 May 1724. Another will not happen here for 600 years.

Great Britain Online captured stunning vision of the eclipse despite the initially poor weather of Wednesday August 11th.

We take you through eclipse week as it unfolded leading up to the simply awe inspiring darkness of totality with its surreal atmosphere.

A record to treasure of this moment in time.
