South Americans Marvel At Total Solar Eclipse.

Solar eclipse as seen from the La Silla European Southern Observatory in La Higuera, Coquimbo Region, Chile, on July 02, 2019. Martin BERNETTI / AFPA rare total solar eclipse plunged a vast swath of Latin America’s southern cone into darkness Tuesday, briefly turning day into night and enthralling huge crowds in much of Chile and Argentina.

“I don’t believe there’s a better place in the world to see an eclipse than La Silla,” said Australian tourist Betsy Clark. The area where the observatory is located, with its dry weather, crystal-clear air and low light pollution, is a stargazers’ paradise. Total solar eclipses are rare, but what is even rarer about Tuesday’s event is that it occurred directly over an area of the Earth most prepared to study the heavenly bodies.

The eclipse began at 13:01 in the Pacific Ocean and a 95 mile -wide band of total darkness reached Chile’s coast at 4:38 pm , before crossing into southeastern Argentina and into the wastes of the South Atlantic.Chile’s President Sebastian Pinera joined the crowds at La Higuera to witness the eclipse.Pinera said Chile was “the capital of the world in terms of astronomy, we are the eyes and the senses of humanity, being able to look, observe and study the stars and the Universe.

Over the border in Argentina, people massed to look into the sky in the western Cuyo wine-producing region, which had the country’s longest exposure to the eclipse.
