Solar Eclipse (Day)
The moon blocks the sun during the day which means the sun will disappear and in the middle of the day it would go pitch black for 15mins. Sadly the the path of the total solar eclipse doesn't cross our small country very often, the last one was 1965 and the next one will be in 2028 in which it will cross over the lower south island.
Lunar Eclipse (Night)
A lunar eclipse appears when the earths shadow block the sun and it's light reflects off the moon, a lunar eclipse can only occur if the moon is opposite of the sun in the sky, a monthly occurrence we know as the full moon. The lunar eclipse will be in November 19, and the next one is not comfrimed.
