EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a momentous event in Liverpool's history - the solar eclipse of 11th August 1999. As the city centre bustles with excitement, crowds gather to witness this celestial spectacle. The atmosphere is filled with anticipation and awe as people crane their necks towards the sky, eager to catch a glimpse of this rare phenomenon. In their quest for safe viewing, some individuals can be seen using X-ray sheets as makeshift protective eyewear. These resourceful spectators take every precaution to safeguard their eyes while immersing themselves in the magic unfolding above them. The image showcases not only the collective fascination with astronomy but also highlights how an astronomical event can bring communities together. People from all walks of life have converged upon Liverpool's streets, united by their shared curiosity and wonderment at nature's grand display. The moon gracefully obscures the sun, casting an ethereal glow over the cityscape below. This total solar eclipse serves as a reminder of our place in the universe and humbles us before its majesty. Andrew Teebay skillfully captures this historic moment through his lens, immortalizing it for generations to come. This photograph transports us back to that summer day in 1999 when time stood still for a brief moment and Liverpudlians were united under one extraordinary cosmic occurrence.
