Watch live: A ‘ring of fire’ solar eclipse has begun over Easter Island


Right now, the moon’s shadow is racing across the Pacific Ocean, creating a spectacular “ring of fire” eclipse that will soon be visible to skywatchers on Easter Island and the tip of South America.

If you’re not located within the path of the eclipse — also called the path of annularity — don’t fret. You can watch the whole thing unfold for free via the livestream below, courtesy of timeanddate.com. The partial phase of the eclipse has already begun, and the peak phase will last from 3:03 to 3:09 p.m. EDT (1903 to 1909 GMT), as seen from the Pacific island of Rapa Nui — a tourist destination better known as Easter Island.
