A partial solar eclipse, known as the "ring of fire," can be seen in parts of South America
NASA reported that the first eclipse of the year can be seen in Argentina and Chile this Tuesday starting at 7 am local time.
This Tuesday marks the first of these events to occur in 2026, with a partial solar eclipse observable on the NASA site in parts of South America, Africa, Antarctica, and the Pacific, Atlantic, and Indian Oceans.
NASA indicated that the eclipse would be annular in Antarctica, but only in a particular region of the coast facing Australia, according to Dimitrios Vassiliada, a scientist with the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration ( NOAA )'s Space Weather Program.
When the Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun, creating a "ring of fire," the moon's image is visible around the telescope, and there is a limited eclipse, which creates a "ring of fire," according to NASA.
The sensation won't be visible from the United States, and much of South America won't, according to the Time and Date site.
The limited eclipse will start at 7 am local time in Argentina and Chile, while it will end at noon in southern Africa, according to the site.
