Total Solar Eclipse 2019

A rather amazing phenomenon takes place this week – the Moon will pass between the Earth and the Sun resulting in Total Solar Eclipse.

Chief Astronomical Officer at the Slooh Observatory, Paul Cox, stated: “The 2019 South American solar eclipse is not an easy event to capture.

“Unlike the 2017 eclipse, the path of totality (the 90-mile wide path of the Moon’s umbral shadow) only makes landfall across a narrow stretch of Chile and Argentina.

“Having raced across the Pacific Ocean at over 6,000mph, by the time the Moon’s shadow reaches the west coast of Chile, the Sun will be low to the horizon, with the partial eclipse phases occurring just as the Sun is setting.”
