Total Solar Eclipse, Australia Northern Queensland 2012

[sudayev 27]

A total solar eclipse will take place on 13–14 November 2012 (UTC), beginning in local time on November 14 west of the International Date Line over northern Australia, and ending on November 13 east of the date line off the western South American coast. Its greatest magnitude is 1.0500, occurring only 12 hours before perigee, with greatest eclipse totality lasting just over 4 minutes. A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between Earth and the Sun, thereby totally or partially obscuring the image of the Sun for a viewer on Earth. A total solar eclipse occurs when the Moon's apparent diameter is larger than the Sun, blocking all direct sunlight, turning day into darkness. Totality occurs in a narrow path across the surface of the Earth, while a partial solar eclipse will be visible over a region thousands of kilometres wide.

Happy watching :)

Next total eclipse will happen in 2015. Faeroe Islands, but because this region is very cloudy and foggy the people will see nothing besides the dark sky.http://forum.egosoft.com/viewtopic.php?p=3980648#3980648
