FRIDAY THE 13TH SOLAR ECLIPSE: If
you live in Tasmania, this Friday the 13th is your lucky day. The new
Moon will pass in front of the sun, off center, taking a bite out of the
solar disk. This video created by graphic artist Larry Koehn of
ShadowandSubstance.com shows the circumstances of the partial eclipse:
The eclipse will be visible
in a region stretching from the southernmost edge of Australia (2%
coverage) to the northern coast of Antarctica (33% coverage). As the
Moon's shadow crosses few inhabited areas, Hobart, Tasmania, arguably
has the best combination of population (200,000) + coverage (10%). It
will be interesting to see if we receive any photos of this remote
event. Stay tuned!
