    Hi Duncan,

    I thought I would rescitate this thread today. I went to view the transit at Astley Hall in Chorley, not far from where Jeremiah Horrocks observed the transit in the 17th century.

    We have certainly had an interesting few years of comets and eclipses.

    Thanks for the bttt, Rachel.

    I already posted two follow-up threads to this, including a picture of the transit that I took in my garden this morning. Nathan Natas also started another thread.

    Were there many people in Astley Hall? On the TV coverage from Greenwich and other places it looked like there were thousands of people all viewing away. Papers'll be full of pictures tomorrow, I guess.

    Duncan.
