Watch a “ring of fire” around the Moon
The New Moon covers the Sun’s center, leaving its outer edges to form the characteristic annulus or “ring of fire” during this annular solar eclipse across Rapa Nui (Easter Island) and the southern tip of South America.
Lucky enough to see the eclipse from your location? Remember to NEVER look at the Sun without proper eye protection.
