ECLIPSES OF 1935

Three Partly Visible in New Zealand In no year can there possibly be more than seven eclipses of the. sun ahd moon or fewer than two, and in the coming 12 months the maximum number will occur. This will consist of five eclipses of the sun and two of the moon. For seeing them all, New Zealand will be in an unfortunate part of the world, as from here, with reasonable luck in the weather, parts of three of them only will be seen. Of the year’s four partial eclipses of the sun New Zealand will see none; the one annular eclipse of the sun will be visible as a partial eclipse only; and of the two total eclipses of the moon one will be visible fully and the other very slightly. ■ The eclipses will occur as follow: — To-morrow, a partial eclipse of the sun, visible only in the Northern Hemisphere; January 19, total eclipse of the moon, visible from New Zealand; February 3, partial eclipse of the sun, not visible from New Zealand; June 30, partial eclipse of the sun, not visible from New Zealandf July 16; totgl eclipse of the moon, possibly slightly visible from New Zealand ; July 30, partial eclipse of the sun, not visible from New Zealand; December 26, annular eclipse of the sun, partially visible from New Zealand.
