If you're interested and near a piece of smoked glass and blue sky around 10am take a look at THIS. (Health warning:panorama sunroofs won't be dark enough:D )
 
Don't look at the sun. Use a pinhole camera or a lens to project an image onto a piece of card.
You will then see the eclipse.

Don't even go outdoor, as it a bad omen. It will get dark around 10.16am BST. According to legend the dragon swallows the sun. :eek:
