RNZ tells me that an eclipse is "expected" to cover parts of NZ in 2028. Are they worried that the sun, moon, or land mass may have significantly moved by then?
Not wanting to send this off onto a political tangent but if you're to believe certain American politicians it's all to do with how the 'big fullah' will be feeling about us when the time comes 😜
Sometimes I use big words I don't always fully understand in an effort to make myself sound more photosynthesis.

Humans have been able to explain eclipses for the last - what - 3,000 years?
And then we have these deplorable who make a point of ignoring science.

So does that mean NZ is being given 4 years to repent :)

I guess people will need to factor in that this eclipse is in the middle of winter and 105 minutes before sunset. So set up on a west facing piece of high ground and take a raincoat (or puffer jacket and woolly hat).
The best high ground spots in that part of the world will be snow covered at that time of the year,
but the Tops of Coronet Peak and Cardrona have great western views,
