A new book, Eclipse Chasers, unveils First Nations knowledge, previously hidden contributions from women, and past expeditions so that you can prepare your celestial view for the next two decades of Australian eclipses. Eclipse Chasers, written by Dr Toner Stevenson from the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences and Professor Nick Lomb from the University of Southern Queensland, has unveiled the history of total solar eclipse observation in Australia. Enthusiasts worldwide will come to Exmouth in Western Australia on 20 April to catch the best view of a total solar eclipse at 11:29 am local time. Over a period of 17 years, solar eclipse fans can view five more eclipses under Australian skies. CSIRO Publishing has marked the occasion with Eclipse Chasers .
