People in Europe, north Africa, the Middle East, and Asia will get front row seats to this most recent celestial display

A partial solar eclipse is set to take place on Tuesday, putting on a show for Europe, north Africa, the Middle East, and Asia.

Not to be confused with a total eclipse, a partial solar eclipse is when the moon blocks just part of the sun.

On Tuesday, when the moon is orbiting the Earth, and as the Earth is simultaneously orbiting the sun, the moon gets caught in the middle and casts a shadow on some of us earthlings.

The earthlings standing in that shadow are the ones who get front row seats to the celestial display.

The first to see the display will be those in Reykjavik, Iceland at 8:58 am local time.

Then over to London where the moon will block about 15 per cent of the sun at 11:00 am.

And at 4:00 pm in Russia’s southern Ural region, the shadow will peak with an expected 79 per cent coverage of the sun.

If you’re in New Dehli, be sure to catch the eclipse on your way out of work where the sun will be 44 per cent covered at 5:30 pm local time.

Remember, never look directly at the sun during an eclipse with your naked eye! Doing so can cause permanent sight damage, so get out a pair of eclipse viewing glasses and enjoy the show!

Sussan Ley’s leadership faces challenge as Liberal MPs debate net zero emissions policy amid divisions between moderates and conservatives

In Short:
– Sussan Ley’s leadership is questioned as the Liberal party debates net-zero emissions amidst internal divisions.
– Moderate MPs warn losing elections if net-zero is abandoned, highlighting urban voter support for a 2050 target.

Sussan Ley’s leadership faces scrutiny as the Liberal party debates a net-zero emissions target.

Conservative members argue she should abandon the goal to maintain her position, while moderates hope for a compromise that aligns with the Paris Agreement.

Leadership contenders like Angus Taylor and Andrew Hastie support staying committed to the Paris Agreement, rejecting a net-zero commitment. Taylor indicated future leadership aspirations are not confirmed.

Pro-net-zero frontbencher Tim Wilson seeks decisive leadership to address the issue. Ley’s lack of internal guidance frustrates moderates, creating uncertainty regarding her stance on net-zero. While some conservatives advocate for its dismissal, others display mixed support.

Liberal party dynamics shift as polling reveals significant opposition to net-zero among constituents. The upcoming party room meeting and shadow ministers gathering will aim to finalise the Coalition’s position.

Internal Divisions

Moderate MPs warn that elections will be lost if net-zero is abandoned, emphasising its importance in urban areas.

A poll indicates strong support for a 2050 net-zero target among voters. Critics of the Nationals’ policy argue it is misguided and incompatible with national interests.

Calls for resignation from frontbench positions are met with opposition. Some representatives voiced frustration over the timing of the meeting, suggesting it should have been resolved earlier.
