Part of the southern hemisphere witnessed an annular eclipse yesterday evening (October 2). The spectacle was seen in all its glory by the Argentinians mainly.
About 175,000 people live in the path of the eclipse ring.
Solar eclipses occur when the Sun, Moon and Earth line up just like this. The moon casts a shadow that can partially or completely block sunlight. During an annular eclipse, the moon obscures all but a ring-shaped patch of the sun. This is because the Moon is at a point in its orbit that is farthest from Earth.
If you didn't understand yet, it doesn't look concrete, look at the video footage.
