Moon's Shadow Takes Australian Walkabout Next Weekby Joe Rao, SPACE.com Skywatching Columnist Date: 09 November 2012 The moon will blot out the sun next week in the only total solar eclipse of the year, providing a rare skywatching treat for parts of the Southern Hemisphere. The total solar eclipse will occur on Tuesday, Nov. 13, but it will actually be Nov. 14 local time for observers south of the equator. The eclipse's partial phases will be visible from all of Australia, New Guinea and New Zealand, as well as part of Antarctica and a far-southern slice of South America. The total solar eclipse, however, can only be seen only from a narrow corridor running southeast across Queensland and the Northern Territory in Australia. www.space.com/18407-total-solar-eclipse-australia-sun-observing.html

Thank you auntym for posting. I have not see a total eclipse since the 60s.
