The first and only total solar eclipse in 2012 happened this afternoon. According to scientists, the phenomenon won’t happen again until March 2015. Only a few people in northern Australia were able to see the eclipse when it happened very early in the morning on November 14.
If you weren’t one of the lucky ones to catch the moon passing between the Earth and the Sun, that’s okay! Fortunately, Panasonic had a live broadcast of the event to share with everyone. In the photos captured from Fitzroy Island, you can clearly see the sun’s corona (brightest part of the sun’s atmosphere) and the total eclipse lasting just over two minutes. Here are some photos of the stunning and rare occurrence!
