“Unfortunately, the weather today is not in our favour to view the partial solar eclipse here in Singapore,” a post on hobby group Stargazer SG’s Facebook page said. “Understandably, this is a cold blanket to our hopes to view this astronomical event.”
A continent away in Sydney, the eclipse was only partial, with less than 20 per cent of the sun blocked by the moon.
But the city’s residents can take some solace.
On Jul 22, 2028, its five million residents will experience their own total solar eclipse – one of five scheduled to occur over Australia in the next 15 years.
