| The moon passes in front of the sun during a full solar eclipse at Palm Grove near the northern Australian city of Cairns. A rare full solar eclipse plunged north Queensland into darkness for two minutes, delighting the thousands of people who had gathered on the Australian state’s beaches. In Cairns, the main city in north Queensland and a gateway to the Great Barrier Reef, cloudy skies and occasional rain partly obscured the view, but elsewhere viewing conditions were more favourable.

Eclipse-hunters have flocked to Queensland’s tropical northeast to watch the region’s first total solar eclipse in 1,300 years on November 14, which occurred as the moon passed between the earth and the sun, casting a shadow path on the globe and lasting for a maximum on the Australian mainland of 2 minutes and 5 seconds.
