> The last total eclipse in continental Europe occurred on March 29, 2006 and in continental part of European Union it occurred on August 11, 1999

August 11 1999 is the day my family moved from the France to the US. We were in the air during the eclipse and must have flown right on the edge shadow or something because one side of the plane was dark while the other half was lit (longitudinally).




Sounds cool. I have to assume the pilot tried to do that on purpose.


I saw the same eclipse when I was on a plane from Rome to Seoul. I don't remember it too well anymore but really cool experience.
