Answer 1: Yes

Answer 2: No it was intermittent cloud here, the thing ducked in and out too often for me to get a decent shot, but here is a photo taken by a guy in Perth

Answer 3: No. Next time around will be in 2046 I think, not sure but I could check it out. Anyhow a fair time from now. Actually last night if you had stood on your head it looked like a frown LOL
