Narrow Swath of South America Sees Total Eclipse of the Sun

VOA News

   A narrow 96-kilometer-wide corridor from the Pacific Coast in Chile
   across the Andes mountain range and into Argentina in South America was
   treated Monday to views of the final total solar eclipse of 2020.

   A total solar eclipse occurs when the moon passes between the Earth and
   the sun, casting a shadow that momentarily extinguishes daylight on
   Earth.
