STORYLINE:
A few privileged skywatchers gathered on Chile’s Easter Island on Wednesday to prepare to observe a solar eclipse.
Visitors to the island in the South Pacific will witness the ‘ring of fire’ created by the eclipse, overseen by the ancient moai sculptures.
The annular solar eclipse will be visible Wednesday over Easter Island and the tips of Argentina and Chile.
This eclipse will occur mostly over water in the Pacific.
Rapa Nui, known as Easter Island, is in the path along with parts of Argentina and Chile.
