Overview
- The annular solar eclipse will be visible from Easter Island, Chile, and Argentina, with maximum annularity lasting 7 minutes and 25 seconds near Easter Island.
- This eclipse occurs because the Moon is at its most distant apogee of the year, making it appear too small to fully cover the Sun.
- Partial phases of the eclipse will be visible from Antarctica, northern New Zealand, and parts of South America, including Brazil, Paraguay, and Peru.
- Proper safety precautions must be taken to view the eclipse, as looking directly at the Sun can cause serious eye damage.
- There is a remote chance that Comet Tsuchinshan-ATLAS may be visible during the eclipse, adding an extra spectacle for sky-watchers.
