We might start pretty early (2 PM from Wellington?!)
From today's Dominion Post website:
Solar eclipse due over Wellington
MICHAEL FIELD
Wellingtonians will get the best view of a partial solar eclipse on Friday, space agency Nasa says.
Nasa charts
show the partial eclipse will be visible over the whole of the South
Island and the lower half of the North Island in a line form Napier
through to New Plymouth.
New Zealand will be the only populated landmass to see the eclipse.
It will occur about 7.30pm - just before sunset.
The weather is forecast to be clear over the capital on Friday, though it will be windy.
The maximum eclipse will be visible along the western side of the Antarctic Peninsula in the Bellingshausen Sea.
It will be the fourth solar eclipse this year; some years have five.
