South America spectacularly staged the only total solar eclipse in 2020!
At noon on December 14, local time, the only total solar eclipse this year was staged in South America. A total solar eclipse can be observed in parts of Argentina and Chile, and a partial solar eclipse can also be observed in countries such as Uruguay, Brazil, Paraguay, and Bolivia.
The total solar eclipse lasts more than 4 hours. The total eclipse zone starts in the eastern South Pacific, passes through Chile and Argentina, and ends in the South Atlantic.
Fortunately, the largest eclipse is located on the mainland. People in the Rio Negro Province of Argentina and the Araucanía Region of Chile can watch the only spectacle of total solar eclipse this year at home. Partial solar eclipses with varying eclipse points can also be observed in the region.
This total solar eclipse has attracted the attention of many astronomers.
The next total solar eclipse that can be observed in Argentina will occur in 2048.
When the moon moves between the sun and the earth and the sun, the moon and the earth are in a straight line, a solar eclipse will occur.
A total solar eclipse is an astronomical phenomenon in which the sun's rays are completely blocked by the moon in some places on the earth, and it is one of the most spectacular celestial phenomena.
