Total Solar Eclipse From Argentina

On Sunday, 2010 July 11, a total eclipse of the Sun was visible from within a narrow corridor that traverses Earth's southern Hemisphere. The path of the Moon's umbral shadow crossed the South Pacific Ocean where it made no landfall except for Mangaia (Cook Islands) and Easter Island (Isla de Pascua). The path of totality ended just after reaching southern Chile and Argentina. The Moon's penumbral shadow produced a partial eclipse visible from a much larger region covering the South Pacific and southern South America.
