Update (2 June 2011): Watch live webcast now!

 

Thursday’s Partial Solar Eclipse (2 June 2011 Australian Time) will not be visible directly from Australia. Maximum eclipse will occur at 7.16am AEST this Thursday morning and will be visible from high Northern latitudes (with Northern Sweden ideally placed for this eclipse).  Further information about this eclipse can be found on NASA’s Eclipse Website. NASA has a story about this eclipse titled ‘A Rare Eclipse of the Midnight Sun‘ on its Science NASA website.

Weather permitting, the eclipse will be webcast from Norway from this site (maximum eclipse there occurs at 7.30am AEST Thursday morning).

As an aside, we will be able to see a Total Lunar Eclipse on the morning of Thursday 16 June 2011. More information can be found here on this site.
