When is the next partial and full solar eclipse going to occur?
Well…it would be at the same time as some parts of Australia will experience partial and Cairns full… The next total eclipse of the Sun visible from the continent will be on 2012 November 13. On that day a full total eclipse will be visible just after sunrise at Cairns. To the west of Cairns, the Sun will rise already partly eclipsed. For observers in Arnhem land to the east of Darwin, across the Gulf of Carpentaria and the York Peninsula, the partly eclipsed sun will rise before totality. Further west still the Sun will also be partly eclipsed as it rises, but this will be after maximum eclipse. Only near Cairns will the Sun rise just before the start of the eclipse so that all phases of the eclipse can be seen. Source: http://www.rasnz.org.nz/eclipses.htm On Fe
