If you happen to be in Australia this week, you might be in for a treat.

The moon will move between Earth and the sun and a solar eclipse is set to happen along the entire length of the southern Pacific Ocean over several hours and making landfall early Wednesday, Nov. 14 (Tuesday afternoon in North America). The solar eclipse will only be visible from Australia in its entirety.

According to the National Geographic, in Australia, the eclipse can be seen from Garig Ganak Barlu National Park at 6:35 a.m. Cairns is the only city in the world where the two minute eclipse can be seen in its entirety.

"The eclipse will then sweep over the Pacific Ocean until reaching the final moments of the totality about 500 miles (800 kilometers) west of Chile's coastline at 23:48 Universal time (UT)," Andrew Fazekas for National Geographic News reports. "The longest duration of totality, lasting 4 minutes and 2 seconds, will occur at 22:11 UT over the open ocean. Meanwhile a still-striking partial eclipse-where only part of the sun is covered-will be seen within a broader track stretching for thousands of miles across much of the rest of the South Pacific Basin, including New Zealand, Antarctica, and South America."

But, if you're not along the South Pacific Basin, not to worry. The online Slooh Space Camera will broadcast the eclipse in its entirety.

Slooh will broadcast a free, real-time feed of the stunning total solar eclipse live from Cairns, Australia with broadcast team on-site. Broadcast team includes, Patrick Paolucci, Bob Berman, Lucie Green, Matt Francis and Paul Cox.
