Rare Total Solar Eclipse - Dunedin

Beginning at 3.09pm on 22 July 2028, Dunedin will be treated to a rare celestial event and will be in the line of totality for a total solar eclipse. The centre line of the moon’s shadow path would pass directly through Dunedin city, ensuring the maximum eclipse experience at 4.17pm, with the sun completely blocked by the moon for 2 minutes and 51 seconds.

The last time that a total solar eclipse occurred in this part of New Zealand was in 1163, long before Dunedin was established. 50,000 people are expected to flood into the city to see the spectacular total solar eclipse.

The Dunedin Astronomical Society was creating a new dedicated website to provide information and advertise activities that would be happening in the build up to the eclipse and on the day.

Dunedin Astronomical Society member Warren Hurley said "The path of the eclipse starts in the Indian Ocean and crosses through central Australia, just north of Alice Springs, then goes through Sydney, and then it goes through just north of Milford Sound and Queenstown, and on through Central Otago to Dunedin."

DUNEDIN LEISURE LODGE IS CURRENTLY FULLY BOOKED DURING THESE SOLAR ECLIPSE DATES.
