The second partial solar eclipse of 2011 takes place in the late spring, on the the first day of June. Although being the second partial solar eclipse out of 4 in 2011, this is the last good visible one. The other two will be visible in the far South regions of the planet, the Southern Ocean and Antarctica. Broadcast the Partial Solar Eclipse here on AstronomyLive! Registering is free.

Live broadcasting: Live broadcasting opportunities are moderate / good. The eclipse area is located in the far North of the globe. Most optimal locations are Russia and Canada with maximum coverage around 50%. Other locations with lower coverage percentage but higher density of populated area are Alaska and China.

Safety: The first thing to remember about observing an eclipse is safety. A lunar eclipse -- an eclipse of the Moon -- is perfectly safe to watch with the naked eye; you're only looking at the Moon, at night, which is quite safe. A solar eclipse is potentially dangerous, however, because viewing a solar eclipse involves looking at the Sun, which can damage your eyesight. NEVER attempt to look at the Sun through a telescope, camera, binoculars, or anything else!
