Hi all
I've written an article previewing the upcoming
Total Solar Eclipse on November 13th-14th, 2012.
The Total Solar Eclipse tracks a narrow path starting in Arnhem Land at dawn on the 14th November where totality lasts 1min 40sec. It crosses the Gulf of Carpentaria and heads towards Cairns, passing on the coast between Cairns and Port Douglas at 6:39am local time (AEST) where totality will last 2 minutes and 4 seconds with the Sun approximately 14deg above the horizon.
The path of totality then crosses the Pacific, passing just north of New Zealand and finishing just before it hits South America.
The partial eclipse phase will be seen by most of Australia and all of New Zealand and Papua New Guinea. The further North and East you are, the greater the partial eclipse will be.
The article details important information such as:
- What is a Solar Eclipse?
- When and where can I see it?
- Eclipse Tours
- Safe Viewing Guide
