Solar eclipse: Thousands flock to remote Australian town for rare celestial event
By Tiffanie TurnbullBBC News, Sydney
Thousands of tourists and scientists have flocked to a small Australian town offering one of The Best vantage points on Earth for a rare Solar Eclipse .
The sky over Exmouth in Western Australia will turn dark for about 60 seconds on Thursday, when the Moon casts a 40km-wide shadow over the area.
The total Solar Eclipse is part of a rare Hybrid Eclipse , which occurs only a handful of times per century.
Partial eclipses will also be visible across other parts of the Asia-Pacific.
This Eclipse begins in the Indian Ocean at sunrise and ends At Sunset in The Pacific , with observers at Different points in The Path of The Eclipse able to see its Different - or Hybrid - Phases .
Some will see a total Solar Eclipse . Others will view what is know as an annular Solar Eclipse - where the Moon does not completely block the whole of The Sun - or partial eclipses.
People living in Western Australia , Timor-Leste and West Papua will have The Best views.
But only those on the Exmouth Peninsula will experience the total Solar Eclipse , at 11:27 local time (04:27 BST).
Exmouth - a reef-side tourist town 1,200 kilometres (745 miles) north of Perth - is normally home to just under 3,000 people. But its population has expanded sevenfold with keen stargazers descending on The Town .
As the Moon moves in front of The Sun , the gathered crowds will be bathed in curved shadows, then darkness. The temperature will drop, The Stars will come out, and wildlife will start acting strangely.
" Animals seem to react to the dimming of The Sun As If it were an unexpected sunset and The End of The Day , " wildlife biologist Bill Bateman told the Australian Associated Press (AAP).
" Birds may stop singing and move to roosting sites, lizards may move to night-time cover. "
Couple Liam Dorney and Elien Wijns - who met at an Eclipse in 2012 and have now travelled to Exmouth for their sixth - Say it's an " almost religious experience".
" It was so beyond us, and it just really encompassed everything, " Mr Dorney told the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC).
The Last Hybrid Solar Eclipse was in November 2013, and Nasa expects The Next in 2031.
