Get ready for ‘Friday the 13th supermoon solar eclipse’ tomorrow

A rare sky event, supermoon partial solar eclipse, is expected to happen tomorrow on Friday, but unluckily not many
Published July 12, 2018

A rare sky event, supermoon partial solar eclipse, is expected to happen tomorrow on Friday, but unluckily not many people will be able to witness it.

The superstitious 'Friday the 13th' tomorrow would feature a rare sky event that was last seen back in 1974. A super-sized new moon will partially block out the sun on July 13 causing a phenomenal view that won’t be unfortunately viewed by most people due to its limited view points.

The partial solar eclipse, as stated by National Geographic, will be visible from the southeastern coast of Australia, Tasmania, New Zealand, the southern Pacific Ocean, and also the northern coast of Antarctica. As a cherry on top, the moon will also be so-called dark supermoon, a larger new moon that occurs when the lunar orbit is very close to Earth.

Blood Moon next month to be the longest of the century

What’s attracting people more is that this rare event was last witnessed on the spooky date, Friday the 13th, was 44 years ago, and won’t be witnessed on the same date until 2080.

The moon’s shadow will mostly fall over the ocean between Australia and Antarctica. The people on land will be able to witness only a tiny part of the event as it will begin on land in southern Australia and 12:30PM Australian Central Standard Time. It will then hit the tip of New Zealand sometime between 03:30 – 04:00PM New Zealand Standard Time. The greatest amount of the eclipse will be witness in Antarctica near Peterson Bank, where only penguins currently exist, as explained by Science Alert.
