Total Solar Eclipse 2012
The last total solar eclipse until 2015 has begun, with the moon crossing in front of the sun in a celestial event that will ultimately send the moon #39;s shadow on a three-hour trek across Earth #39;s surface, starting in northern Australia. Despite some clouds, the beginning of today #39;s total solar eclipse was clearly visible as the moon edged between the sun and Earth, appearing to take a bite out of our star as seen by thousands of observers in Cairns, Australia, where several webcasts were broadcasting the event. The eclipse will reach totality at 3:35 pm EST (2035 GMT) today mdash; shortly after dawn Wednesday (Nov. 14) local time in Australia mdash; over the Northern Territory #39;s Arnhem Land region. The moon #39;s shadow sweeps southeast from there, crossing the Gulf of Carpentaria into the state of Queensland before heading out into the vast Pacific Ocean, where few will see it. More than 50000 spectactors, along with teams of scientists, flocked to Cairns on Queensland #39;s northeast coast to witness the solar spectacle.
