"It's a lot of emotion, a lot. I don't know how to tell you. It's something that can't be said, it has to be felt, do you know? It's a huge emotion. To thank life to be alive."

STORYLINE:
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.
During an annular eclipse, the moon obscures all but a ring-shaped sliver of the sun. That’s because the moon is at a point in its orbit that’s farther from Earth.
This eclipse occured mostly over water in the Pacific. Rapa Nui, known as Easter Island, is on the path along with parts of Argentina and Chile.
A partial solar eclipse, when the sun appears as a crescent, was seen from several locations including Brazil, Paraguay, Uruguay, and Hawaii.
Solar eclipses happen about two to five times a year. April’s total eclipse of the sun dazzled skywatchers in parts of Mexico, Canada, and the U.S.
