On the morning of November 14, 2012, the North of Australia
witnessed a total solar eclipse. Panasonic, powered solely by its
HIT(R) solar panels and lithium-ion batteries for storage,
succeeded in a live broadcast of this spectacular astronomical
phenomenon via USTREAM.
Panasonic's LUMIX GH2 attached through a
telescope captured the dramatic moment for about two minutes.

Here's a flash report by Correspondent reporter, Scott Mellish,

Australia!http://youtu.be/_KUl0zkcYX8
The solar eclipse was broadcasted from two bases at seashore,
Port Douglas and Fitzroy Island, 60km far northwest and 30km
respectively from Cairns. A few days prior to the spectacular
moment, the sun was often shyly hiding in the clouds but at the
moment of the total eclipse, the sun stood out among the intervals
of cloudy weather and Panasonic’s LUMIX GH2 attached through a
telescope captured the dramatic moment for about two minutes.
The challenging ‘eco-friendly’ live broadcasting to the world
via Ustream achieved a total of over 800,000 viewers at the two
bases as a result of mainly word-of-mouth, especially on social
media like Twitter and Facebook. Thank you to all those who
participated!
The epic challenge to “Filming the sun, using the sun” is a
second for Panasonic after the annular eclipse live from Mount
Fuji, Japan in May 2012. Panasonic, as one of leading energy
solutions’ brands will continue to use our technologies and ideas
for life to share such emotional, moving events in the near future.
Stay tuned!

About the Total Solar Eclipse
A total solar eclipse occurs when the moon crosses between the
sun and Earth, therefore effectively concealing the whole body of
the sun from view. Since the total eclipse is a phenomenon in which
the sun itself can't be seen, it is actually the hot gases of the
Corona, the so called "diamond ring" and the "prominence" that we
can actually observe. The viewing path from which someone is able
to observe a total solar eclipse in its totality is very narrow,
and therefore you would be lucky to see this even once in a
lifetime.
