Huge crowds gather in Far North Queensland to watch total solar eclipse: live stream | |
Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 27588020 India 11/12/2012 10:02 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | By a remarkable celestial coincidence, the sun is 400 times wider than the moon, but also 400 times farther away, so for those on the coastline between Cairns and Port Douglas tomorrow, the discs will appear to match in size. Casting a shadow 150km wide, the eclipse begins over the Kakadu National Park in the Northern Territory, moves eastwards across the Gulf of Carpentaria and then crosses Queensland shortly after dawn. ... More than 50,000 tourists from Europe, Asia and the US have traveled to the far north to enjoy two minutes of “totality” – weather dependent. Hotels are completely full, cruise liners are moored offshore and forty hot air balloons will take to the sky above the Atherton Tableland. anyone watching bright stars nearby venus or jupiter |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 26529162 United States 11/12/2012 11:34 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | That's interesting. When I saw that the total solar eclipse was the night of the 13th to the morning of the 14th, I assumed that was American time/date (of course! LOL) even though it will not be visible here. I had not factored in that the area where this eclipse will be visible is a day ahead so they ARE in the 13th day of November while we are in the 12th. So this is happening TONIGHT not tomorrow night. Hope to hear some great news coming from this eclipse. Maybe those things long awaited will come to pass! Peace! |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 27596094 What i meant was i wouldn't let my kid look up at that. Rare event but not advisable. It's perfectly safe during totality. At other times you do need to use safe filtration or project the sun's image using something like a pinhole camera box. |
