University students across the UK have come together to welcome the scientific marvel that is the partial solar eclipse.
Mike Fellows, a physics undergrad at Aberystwyth University said 'I thought that watching Buzz Aldrin attempt to complete a coherent sentence on Stargazing Live was a miracle but this is even better.'
And Jake Hollins, studying Astronomy in Aberdeen said 'I was too young to remember the last solar eclipse. This is a wonder. The ethereal, darkened nature of the light. It means I can legitimately lay in bed until 11 am and tell people it's because it was still dark.'
'I'm not getting up for a stupid eclipse. I'm going to have a nice morning wank and then fuck off back to bed.'
Professor Charles Langtree of Felchfield Polytechnic said in response 'I don't know why we bother. I believe humanity is doomed. Say your prayers to whatever invented god you believe in as, if he is our future, we're fucked.'
