This is a list of solar eclipses visible from the United Kingdom between AD 1000AD 2091. A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between Earth and the Sun, thereby totally or partially obscuring Earth's view of the Sun. Below is a complete list of total and annular eclipses visible anywhere within the modern extent of the United Kingdom between AD 1000 and AD 2090〔UK Solar Eclipses from Year 1 by Sheridan Williams, Clock Tower Press, ISBN 1-85142-093-2, Published 1996〕 and a description of forthcoming partial solar eclipses visible in Britain in the next fifteen years or so.〔Fifty Year Canon of Solar Eclipses 1986 - 2035 by Fred Espenak, NASA ISBN 0-933346-45-X, Published 1987〕 ==The 12th century (AD 1101 - 1200)== *2 August 1133〔(Solar eclipse of 2 August 1133 )〕 * * "King Henry's Eclipse": A total eclipse, recorded in the Peterborough Chronicle (under 1135 due to the vagaries of the dating system in use): ''and the next day, as he lay asleep on ship, the day darkened over all lands, and the Sun was all * * *20 March 1140〔()〕 * * A total eclipse, recorded by William of Malmesbury in his ''Historia Novella''. In his opinion this was a sign which foretold the capture of King Stephen in the Battle of Lincoln in 1141. This is the Lenten eclipse also reported in the Peterborough Chronicle as being on the thirteenth day before the kalends of April: After this, during Lent, the sun and the day darkened about the noon-tide of the day, when men were eating; and they lighted candles to eat by. That was the thirteenth day before the kalends of April. Men were greatly wonderstricken''〔NASA Technical Publication TP-2006-214141 - http://eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov/5MCSE/5MCSE-Maps-08.pdf〕 Totality was experienced at about 3.00 pm at the centre line of the eclipse (near Derby). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「List of solar eclipses visible from the United Kingdom AD 1000–2091」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
