Everybody in Aussie and New Zealand go get your solar observing glasses! I've got mine from the observatory.

This will be the best eclipse for new zealand until 2035. I alread missed the transit of Venus earlier this year and I lost faith in life o.o Hope for pleasant weather!

I remember the lunar eclipse. The moon looks funny being red.

I love the lunar eclipse I was up on mt eden and there were all these couples watching it :3
I think you've got it at about 60% down in Dunedin, but still try to watch it! It'll be amazing!

I was lucky enough to experience a full solar eclipse in Sydney when I was about 8 years old, I remember it vividly, everyone in our street went indoors, blinds drawn and no one was allowed outside for a couple of hours.

On the Gold Coast we are expecting a 80% plus eclipse, but up around Cairns they are to experience the full eclipse.

Auckland has it at 87 or so percent so it'll "look like a gleaming crescent" according to the news ^^

How come everybody went inside?

[dfiant]

because you weren't allowed to look at the sun, or the reflection of the sun or or or...the 70's was all about tin foil hats anyway

I was there for the complete solar eclispe when it happened in the UK, i can actually remember the tide being out and we were on the rocks when it happened, the animals all freaked out, it was a amazing experience i will never forget, i would always suggest trying to experience one, its so surreal
