Aha! 2028 total solar eclipse in New Zealand:
before the total eclipse [on 22 July, 2028], Aotearoa would also be treated to a small dress rehearsal on 22 September 2025.
"There's a really big partial eclipse of the sun which isn't total, but a lot of the sun will be covered."

@rnv It would be great to see you and show you around. (…Perhaps we’ll join you in the flight to New Zealand to see the eclipse?)
