Total Solar Eclipse in Australia -- 8:35pm, Nov 13th for Ireland

jfSDAS

hi all,

Don't forget to tune in tonight to live coverage of the total solar eclipse! Totality begins at 6:35am local time in Cairns on November 14th, but 8:35pm TONIGHT for us in Ireland.

The forecast is iffy over Cairns at the moment but they are predicting some breaks -- eclipse weather can sometimes be very different though to the initial forecast as the Moon's shadow creates a cooling effect.

I tried ringing one of the guys (on Viber) that's out there for the eclipse but got no reply yet ... he had been diving the Barrier Reef the last couple of days though!

The majority of these links are supplied by Thilina Hennatigala of Astronomers Without Borders (see http://www.astronomerswithoutborders.org )

Might be worth checking too if Sky News or one of the other channels will broadcast the event.

Unreal experience, unfortunately at the moment of totality, our view was covered by cloud, but the beach went dark for about 2 minutes and the temperature appeared to drop about 10 degrees.
