Eclipse breakfast at Aberystwyth University
A sizeable crowd of students, staff and residents of Aber gathered on the lawn outside Aberystwyth Arts Centre to watch the partial solar eclipse. The weather was perfect, with no cloud in sight. Members of the Physics Department had installed several telescopes through which people could watch the eclipse safely and at high resolution. Neutral density filters, welding masks and makeshift cardboard pinhole cameras were also widely shared amongst the crowd of observers.
The photo was taken about 10 minutes before the maximum occultation, and the automatic brightness adjustment doesn't quite do the light conditions justice. Light levels were noticeably reduced for about 30 minutes either side of the maximum. Unlike during twilight, this doesn't affect the colours seen since the Sun is as high in the sky as it would normally be. Instead, everything is just becoming dimmer - and the clever camera of course insists on correcting this...

The Great Hall, Aberystwyth
Now part of the Aberystwyth University Arts Centre, this was created as the Great Hall (Neuadd Fawr) of the University College of Wales, Aberystwyth, and completed in 1970. For me as a student at the time, its main function was as the luxurious new venue of the Film Society, previously confined to the primitive Celtic Cinema in the town.
