Total Solar Eclipse Viewed from Australia – Video




Total Solar Eclipse Viewed from Australia
On Nov. 13, 2012, a narrow corridor in the southern hemisphere experienced a total solar eclipse. The corridor lay mostly over the ocean but also cut across the northern tip of Australia where both professional and amateur astronomers gathered to watch.During a solar eclipse one can see - using appropriate instruments to protect the eyes since you should never look at the sun directly -- dim structures around the edges of the sun. These structures are the sun #39;s atmosphere, the corona, which extends beyond the more easily seen surface, known as the photosphere.
