Witnessing a total solar eclipse is a wondrous and unforgettable
event! Eclipse Chasers is a guide to past and future Australian
total solar eclipses, exploring historical and cultural knowledge,
as well as featuring five upcoming eclipses that will be visible in
Australia. The science of eclipses is explained, as well as how to
prepare for an eclipse and view it safely. For upcoming eclipses
the best locations to view each one are revealed, alongside tips
for taking photographs. The book also reveals untold stories of how
past Australian astronomers observed the total eclipses that have
occurred since European settlement, and how these eclipses were
celebrated in popular culture, poetry and art. It explores the
great significance of solar eclipses for First Nations peoples, and
their observations and cultural meanings. Eclipse Chasers showcases
the drama and beauty of total solar eclipses and is essential for
anyone fascinated by these amazing events. IMPORTANT NEWS: The next
total solar eclipse in Australia is set to occur April 20, 2023.
The Ningaloo Eclipse will entice people from all over the world to
travel to Exmouth in Western Australia to have front row seats. KEY
INFO: Includes locations and times to safely view a series of total
solar eclipses coming up over the next two decades in Australia:
April 2023; July 2028, Nov 2030, July 2037 and December 2038.
Interest in eclipses is set to surge in Australia as we will have
the opportunity to view five over the next two decades. Worldwide
there are usually just one or two total solar eclipses each year,
so it is remarkable that so many can be seen in one location so
close together. A media campaign will support the release of
Eclipse Chasers with expected coverage in major newspapers and
national radio. The book includes information for teachers, and
teacher notes will be available from the CSIRO Publishing website.
