Letter: Eclipse fever

Sir: When I walked into my newsagent's this morning and looked at the rack of newspapers facing me I was momentarily stunned. Every front page of every paper, tabloid and broadsheet, had an identical cover picture of the eclipse. It was... well, awesome. Probably more awesome than the few minutes of premature twilight enountered at 11.11 on Wednesday morning. And the sight of identical covers on every daily paper will probably never be repeated in my lifetime. At last, I'll have something to tell my grandchildren about.
