00:00Do you remember the 1999 eclipse?
00:03Oh yeah, we were all in work, we all came outside.
00:05Abbey Wood came and washed it.
00:09Great. What was that like, the atmosphere?
00:12Amazing.
00:13Was it similar to what there is today?
00:14Yeah, I mean it was obviously work colleagues because we were in the office
00:18so everybody was allowed outside.
00:21And yeah, it was very eerie.
00:24I remember it being very eerie and everything silent.
00:27The birds not singing, the seagulls laying down, the swans rather, laying down for the night
00:32as if it was the night.
00:34I mean, I think the last eclipse was when there was like five or six, right?
00:37Something like that.
00:38Yeah, it's like one of those things where it's like,
00:42every so often in your life, you know, you might as well go out and like,
00:45you know, a whole group of people and really try and enjoy it.
00:48It's like the solar eclipse viewing box.
00:53How did you make it?
00:54No, I just like Google and I see if I'm without a solar eclipse glasses.
00:59So how can I like see it?
01:00And then it came outside some solar eclipse viewer box and then like paper.
01:07You see some people use a colander.
01:10So I just make this box.
01:12Does it work?
01:13Yeah, it does work.
01:14You can see inside.
01:16So through this pinhole and then so there's the reflection of the sun inside the box.
01:22And then you will see.
01:22And were you planning for a while to come out here and watch it?
01:26No, it was almost for the moment.
01:28I mean, I bought the glasses in case and I said, shall we, shan't we?
01:32And we were here for Minam in today.
01:34And yeah, here we are.
01:36Not regressing your choice?
01:38No, no, it's quite good.
01:39No, it's quite nice.
01:39Nice atmosphere.
01:41Yeah, lots of people, which is good.
01:44We looked online to see where it was the best place in our area to come and see.
01:50And this was one of the areas.
01:52So we thought, well, it's closest to home.
01:54Did you make plans quite a long time in advance?
01:58Probably a few hours ago.
01:59After work, I was like, let's do it.
02:00This is like three different friend groups in one.
02:03Just cut to the square, both sides.
02:06And then you put the foil paper here.
02:08And use the pin, do a pinhole, small pinhole.
02:12So then you can get the sunlight through the pinhole.
02:15And then, so the reflection will be inside.
02:18There is like a white, like A4 paper down there.
02:22So it's like a screen, like a screen, you know?
02:24Apparently it's supposed to be a pinhole camera.
02:28I don't really know if it works.
02:30But maybe that one.
02:32So we've punched the hole through some cardboard.
02:35And we'll be able to see it on a piece of paper.
02:39Oh yeah, look, look.
02:40Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
02:41Yeah, you can see a teeny tiny one.
02:43Do you see that?
02:44Probably not.
02:45There's also like the meteor shower afterwards.
02:47So we'll probably stay here.
02:47Do you not know that?
02:48No, I'm trying to say that.
02:50Are you serious?
02:52There's a meteor shower.
02:53We'll be like, teeny, something like that.
02:56Yeah, that's a great song.
02:57You might see lots of shooting stars tonight.
02:59I...
