Only total solar eclipse of 2020 thrills spectators in South America

Only total solar eclipse of 2020 thrills spectators in South America Space 12/14/2020 Doris Elin Urrutia © Provided by Space The diamond ring effect is seen during the total solar eclipse from Piedra del Aquila, Neuquen province, Argentina on Dec. 14, 2020. The only total solar eclipse of 2020 dazzled spectators in South America, and some lucked out even as overcast skies threatened to put a damper on an incredible celestial event. The so-called Southern Cone has now been treated to two total solar eclipses in back-to-back years. But each event was unique. Both eclipses were visible in Chile and Argentina, but the 2019 total solar eclipse happened in the wintertime for the Southern Hemisphere and in the late afternoon. This meant that the sun was low on the horizon, so the sky didn t get as dark as it did this year.

The coronavirus pandemic will leave some eclipse chasers in the dark for the total solar eclipse of 2020

Eclipse chasers are so enthusiastic about solar eclipses that they rarely miss these celestial events, even if they have to travel across the world to view them. But the coronavirus outbreak has halted their plans for the one and only total solar eclipse of the year.  On Monday (Dec. 14), the total solar eclipse of 2020 will sweep across South America s Southern Cone, through Chile and Argentina, turning daytime into twilight for up to 2 minutes and 10 seconds as the moon passes in front of the sun. A partial eclipse will be visible throughout the continent, as well as parts of southwestern Africa.
