Pink Floyd continue to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the classic album, The Dark Side Of The Moon, by releasing a brand new 30-minute film documenting the recent Australian eclipse.

Entitled Eclipse, the release follows a number of lucky Pink Floyd fans who flew to Western Australia to listen to The Dark Side Of The Moon whilst witnessing a once-in-a-lifetime viewing of an extraordinary and rare total solar eclipse phenomenon.

On Thursday 20 April 2023, the shadow of the moon grazed the tip of Western Australia, as it travelled over one of the world’s most beautiful areas – the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Ningaloo Marine Park in Exmouth. Overseen by the group’s long time Creative Consultant and Hipgnosis co-founder, Aubrey ‘Po’ Powell, Pink Floyd gave eight Australian fans (named The Astronomy Domine Eight) the exclusive opportunity to visit the special scenic location within the region to hear The Dark Side Of The Moon in full. The album’s soaring epic final song "Eclipse' (with the closing lines “But the sun is eclipsed by the moon…”) was timed to align with the exact moment of total eclipse.

The documentary, created by Powell and his team, Director Benny Trickett and Producer Fiz Oliver, follows the Astronomy Domine Eight who listened on headphones alongside a purpose-built pyramid on a deserted beach. It traces their journey from applying for the trip through to their emotional feelings afterwards. Locals in the area and thousands of others who had also made the historic trip to Exmouth to be part of the experience were also interviewed as part of the documentary.
