Letter: In Brief

Sir: Despite Helen Best being a post-Copernican astrologer (letter, 8 January), her views are still unfounded. Total eclipses happen on average every 18 months and the fact that this one is visible from England is due purely to geometry and timing. Apart from causing congestion in Cornwall and a headache for the Eclipse Co-ordinator it will have no affect on anyone.
