I'll be flying into Side on the 28th March.

The Eclipse being, AIUI, on March 29th; partial in the UK from 10:45 to
12:20 BST. The Moon will, of course, be changing from Old to New.

According to "February Night Sky" in my Monday newspaper, however, the
Moon will be new on the 29th of *this* month. "Times" readers will,
however, "see" it on the 28th.
