Total Eclipse in Mexico

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

For the first time, millions of viewers around the world can watch an eclipse of the Sun as it happens
Patrick Moore is in the studio to comment as NBC TV cameras at an observation base in a remote Mexican mountain village transmit colour pictures by satellite of the Moon creeping across the Sun's face.
The Sun will be totally obscured for three-and-a-half minutes, an unusually long eclipse, during which hundreds of the world's astronomers will carry out unique experiments.
