Total Solar Eclipse – Tahiti
Another success for Astro-Expeditions trip to observe the great South Pacific total solar eclipse. Our groups on the Polynesian Islands of Anaa and Hikueru joined with the islanders to enjoy this rare spectacle. Careful preparation over the past couple of years provided flawless travel arrangements, leaving group members free to enjoy Tahiti and Moorea.
As ever, the weather was a significant factor as the time for totality approached with some scary clouds scudding across the sky, but fortunately we all had a good view of the eclipse.
We plan to have further reports and pictures from the trip in due course and also the results of the timing experiment, but meanwhile here are a few samples from the trip.
