The partial eclipse seen through cloud at Sanur beach, Bali.
Skygazers across the Australian Outback were among the lucky ones to witness a solar eclipse as the moon glided between Earth and the sun, blocking everything but a dazzling ring of light.
The celestial spectacle, known as a “ring of fire” eclipse, is the second solar eclipse visible from northern Australia in six months. In November, a total solar eclipse plunged the country’s northeast into darkness, delighting astronomers and tourists who flocked to the region from across the globe to witness it.
The eclipse lasted between three and six minutes, depending on its location, and blacked out around 95% of the sun at its peak. A partial eclipse was visible to people in other parts of Australia, Indonesia, New Zealand and the South Pacific.
