STORYLINE:
People from around the world arrived Wednesday at the southern tip of Patagonia in San Julian, Argentina, to catch a glimpse of the sun’s “ring of fire” eclipse.
The annular solar eclipse will be visible Wednesday over Easter Island and the tips of Argentina and Chile.
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 farther from Earth.
This eclipse will occur mostly over water in the Pacific.
Rapa Nui, known as Easter Island, is along the path with parts of Argentina and Chile.
A partial solar eclipse, when the sun appears as a crescent, can be seen from several locations, including Brazil, Paraguay, Uruguay, and Hawaii.
Solar eclipses happen about two to five times a year.
April’s total sun eclipse dazzled skywatchers in parts of Mexico, Canada, and the U.S.
