There will be two lunar eclipses visible in Tonga this year. The first lunar eclipse coming up next week on the night 26-27 May is made for us, because the moon will be almost straight above your head. A full moon in a total eclipse is not pitch dark but usually bright red. By Firitia Velt.

Two weeks after the beautiful eclipse of the moon, sun, earth and moon will be aligned again, this time to give a solar eclipse. But this all happens 8 minutes before the sunrise of Monday 12 July 2010. When the sun finally rises on Tongatapu at 7:18 that day we can only watch the final stages of the eclipse. - Firitia Velt.

Some time ago I did a test to see how many cars in Nuku'alofa actually do use their direction indicators properly. While traveling through town, every time I saw a car making a turn I watched whether it had its left or right flashing light properly on, both front and rear. The results were terrible. - Firitia Velt
