About to eyewitness another cosmic event – Solar Eclipse 14 November 2012

— Posted inUncategorized — 1 min read

Several months after the Annular Solar Eclipse in May, a total partial :doh: lunar eclipse & the Transit of Venus in June, we are about to be treated with another cosmic event. This time it is another solar eclipse. Those lucky people in northern Australia will experience the total solar eclipse (Apocalypto! :yikes:). While us in the North Island of New Zealand will still be ale to eyewitness a partial solar eclipse, if prepared well. 😎

I'm not really prepared. No solar observation glass. I will still try a pinhole method for safe observation & maybe photo-recording. If you have another idea of safe eclipse observation & photo taking, please post a quick comment for me. It will be much appreciated.

The eclipse will start in less than under hour and half, and max at 10.34 NZDST, which is in 2.5 hours. A quiet excitement has started to build up. 😀

I'll keep you posted. Watch the space. 😎

    I wish you all the best, dear MM, and I envy you because of the opportunity

  4. Thanks, Angelika. There's a little ditty (parody song) about kiwis that goes, 'We don't know how lucky we are … We don't know how lucky we are, mate! …' 😆 I'll try to make the most of this special occasion. 🙂 Meanwhile, I'd better get back to work. TTFN

  6. :DIt always amazes me how many smilies & greeting cards you've got up your sleeve! 😉
