      I saw one total eclipse when I was around twelve, and I have since seen a partial one. We will have a solar eclipse in the UK that is nearly a total one in 2029, but the next actual full eclipse will not be till 2090! You might live to see it!

      I think I’ve seen one solar eclipse! I think I was around 8 or 9 years old and everyone told me to cover my eyes!
