Question by Super: What time will the Solar Eclipse happen today?
Okay, so there is going to be an Annular eclipse today, which it is an eclipse of the sun, in which the edge of the sun remains visible as a bright ring around the moon. Anyway, all I am asking is: what time will the eclipse happen?
Best answer:
Answer by Box Of WineWe know what an annular eclipse is, but thanks for the explanation. The eclipse will be going on at sunset. The farther east you are, the less you will see. Everyone on the east coast will miss it entirely.

A total solar eclipse plunged northern Queensland into darkness for two minutes, delighting crowds packed on the beach in Cairns. Australians donned protective glasses as the clouds parted to allow them to witness one of nature's greatest phenomena -- a total eclipse of the sun. All eyes and cameras turned to the heavens over tropical north Queensland as the moon began moving between the Earth and the sun, like a small bite which gradually increases in size. Cloud cover threatened to spoil the party and huge cheers erupted when they parted to give tens of thousands of eclipse hunters a perfect view of totality -- when the moon completely covers the sun and a faint halo or corona appears. The path of the eclipse got under way shortly after daybreak when the moon's shadow, or umbra, fell in the Garig Gunak Barlu National Park in the Northern Territory, about 155 miles east of Darwin. The umbra then moved eastward before alighting in north Queensland -- one of the few places it could be viewed by humans and where tourists and scientists flocked to witness the region's first total solar eclipse in 1300 years.
