We are familiar with solar eclipses as seen from the Earth, but how about the view from the Sun? Smile
This one was a partial eclipse I saw during my Australia trip way back in 1986. I heard there's another eclipse in July 2028 that should be better.

For some reason we get far more total lunar eclipses than solars.

The next total solar eclipse is on the 22nd July, 2028 and travels right over Sydney. Grin

On another note, a message to everyone - don't forget about the total online eclipse here tomorrow morning - no Vintage Radio for about three hours. See front page for details.
