An eclipse of the sun occurs when the moon passes between the sun and the earth so that the sun’s light is fully or partially blocked. A total solar eclipse is rare and spectacular and can be a little scary. I remember there was one when i was a kid and i was only allowed to go outside with a tea-towel over my head. Eclipse viewing attire has not really been a huge topic for discussion but the possibilities are endless.
On November 13th 2012 there is going to be a total eclipse of the sun in Eastern Australia, it's going to last for four whole minutes and although it's over a year away, Wet & Wendy is working on your outfit. Watch this NASA animation to give you an idea of what when and where. HERE
In the meantime enjoy these...
