Chasing the solar eclipse in 2023 from Queensland? On 20 April 2023, Queensland saw a partial solar eclipse—not totality—with the Sun nibbled by the Moon, coverage varying by location (larger in the northwest, smaller in the southeast).

Peak was around the middle of the day local time, and yes, clouds tried their best to be dramatic.

Use proper ISO 12312-2 eclipse glasses or a pinhole projector; sunglasses are about as useful as a tea towel for a parachute.

If you missed it, there are more on the way in coming years, so keep an eye on reputable astronomy forecasts and your calendar—safely.
