New Zealand will get a slight glimpse of Solar Eclipse on Friday, November 25th. According to report by space agency NASA, the partial solar eclipse will be seen in Wellington just before the sunset at 7.30pm.
Nasa further says the solar eclipse can be viewed from the entire South Island along with the lower half of the North Island. The line of eclipse will be from Napier through to New Plymouth.
The news also reveals only New Zealand will be the populated landmass where the solar eclipse can be viewed.
