Observing the Annular Solar Eclipse from the European Space Astronomy Centre (Vilspa, or Villafranca) on the outskirts of Madrid, Spain, 3rd October, 2005.

Recent experiements prove that, when the Sun and Moon are so closely aligned as they are during an eclipse, the additional gravitational force can cause teeth to shoot out into space. For this reason, aircraft are not allowed to fly during an eclipse.
