Where to see it

A partial eclipse, visible from southern Argentina, southern Chile, Antarctica.

Eclipse predictions by Fred Espenak, NASA's GSFC

A deep partial eclipse for the far south — the Moon covers nearly 90% of the Sun's width. Never look at the Sun without certified eclipse glasses or a proper solar filter — not during a partial phase, and not through a camera, binoculars, or a telescope. A partial eclipse never covers the whole Sun, so keep the glasses on the whole time.
