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.
The weather department of New Zealand forecasts clear sky on Friday in Wellington, though it may be little windy.
Bellingshausen Sea's Antarctic Peninsula western side will get the maximum eclipse viewing.
Friday's solar eclipse will be the fourth eclipse of 2011. Some years experience five solar eclipses.
