Another total solar eclipse on July 2
WILLINGTON: If you were remiss about missing out on the spectacle of totality during summer 2017’s solar eclipse mania-or if you just want to live it all over again-you’re in luck. Another total solar eclipse is happening soon, this time dazzling South America.
On July 2, starting off the coast of New Zealand, the solar eclipse will reach its peak about 1,000 kilometers north of Easter Island, says Alex Young, an associate director for science at NASA. Parts of Chile and Argentina will be in the path of totality, with a partial eclipse visible in Ecuador, Brazil, Uruguay, and Paraguay, if weather permits. This one is expected to last four minutes and 33 seconds at its peak, longer than the two minutes and 40 seconds in 2017. As luck (and the cosmos) would have it, Chile, one of the only spots on land from which to view the eclipse in totality, happens to be one of the world’s best stargazing regions as well, with new luxury lodging and adventure options for intrepid stargazers.
