Solar Eclipse 2024: People Gather In Argentina To Catch A Glimpse Of ‘Ring Of Fire’

People caught a glimpse of the “ring of fire” eclipse of the sun at the southern tip of Patagonia in South America. The annular solar eclipse was visible Wednesday over Easter Island and the tips of Argentina and Chile. "It's a lot of emotion, a lot... It's something that can't be said, it has to be felt," said tourist Yoli Arset, who was watching the natural phenomenon with a group of women in the town of Puerto San Julian in southern Argentina. 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.
