It can occur up to two and five times each year on earth, sometimes not at all.

Although very rare, it will occur again for 6 minutes and 39 seconds on July 22nd shortly after 1:00pm (Australian EST) where the longest solar eclipse of the 21st century takes place throughout the Asia Pacific region, visible only in Australia from the very tip of far North Queensland.

For 6 minutes and 39 seconds next week, fans and muso’s across the world will get to see and hear a broadcast from Empire of the Sun. Found digitally on the website eclipseofthesun.org , the content will be beamed live from planet earth to their army of followers around the world.

Remember the date July 22nd, shortly after 1:00pm for 6 minutes and 39 seconds… Let the count down begin!
