Only in 2012, a total solar Eclipse will occur on the Earth on 13 November. The full phase of the Eclipse will be visible only in the North of Australia.

Will Eclipse 19:37 GMT (23:37 GMT) on Tuesday. At this time penumbra moon touches the Ground. As specifies RIA "news", an hour later, at 20:35 GMT, will begin full phase: from the North coast of Australia, the band moon's shadow will pass all the way around the Pacific ocean and again returns to land in Queensland. The largest city, which will be on the road by shadows, will Cairns on the West coast of the country. There live about 150 thousand people. In Cairns full phase will last not more than two minutes - 20:38 to 20:40 GMT.

In this city, to watch the Eclipse, will arrive about 80 thousand scientists and tourists, including experts from Russia. According to the Siberian astronomers, now the Sun is in the phase of maximum of the 11-year cycle of activity, but behaves so quietly that scientists say about the new "ice age" stars.

"This is a very interesting fact. To make any predictions, we need the latest images of the corona of the Sun. It is necessary to compare them with previous" - said the Director of the Irkutsk state University Sergei Yazev. Russian astronomers are carried in Cairns special equipment. In particular, lenses, telescopes with hydrogen filter, allowing to consider the chronosphere and solar flares. The expedition of the Irkutsk - only, which includes scientists from all over Russia.

In the next 25 years in Australia, we will see six full solar eclipses, including the upcoming the next night. "In five areas of Australia during this period it will be possible to observe a complete phase twice in the same place. And the minimum gap between full Eclipse (2037-th and 2038) for one Observatory will be only six months" - says astronomer Alexander Kozlovsky.

In Russia during the same period, total Eclipse will not be observed, with the exception of 12 August 2026. On this day the Eclipse can be seen on a small part of the coast of Taimyr. As writes "the Russian newspaper", the nearest Eclipse will be visible in Moscow, will take place on October 16, 2126 year.
