Skygazers on the tip of South America were treated Wednesday to a spectacular “ring of fire” solar eclipse that was visible from Chile’s Easter Island before heading to mainland Patagonia.
“It was a mini sunset,” 55-year-old Ninoska Huki told AFP of the “sublime” experience that hit the island shortly after noon local time.Even when perfectly aligned, the Moon is too far from Earth to completely block out the Sun, creating instead the impression of a fiery ring.The bite grows bigger and bigger until the Moon moves directly in line with the Sun, at which point people nearby usually notice a distinct drop in temperature and brightness but for the ring.
A partial eclipse would be visible from Bolivia, Peru, Paraguay, Uruguay, parts of Brazil, Mexico, New Zealand and several islands in the Pacific and Atlantic oceans, NASA said.
