Part of the southern hemisphere witnessed an annular eclipse on Wednesday, 2 October, a spectacle that was seen in all its splendour from Chilean and Argentine Patagonia.
An estimated 175,000 people live in the path of the eclipse’s annularity, giving far-flung residents and eclipse-chasing tourists a stunning view.
Solar eclipses happen when the sun, moon and Earth line up just so.
The moon casts a shadow that can partially or totally block the sun’s light.
During an annular eclipse, the moon obscures all but a ring-shaped sliver of the sun.
That’s because the moon is at a point in its orbit that’s farther from Earth.
