Solar eclipse seen from Easter Island

SPACE.com: On Sunday, thousands gathered on Easter Island to view the total solar eclipse—when the Moon passes between Earth and the Sun, blocking Earth's view of the Sun. This solar eclipse was one of the most remote ever, visible along a thousand-mile track in the southern Pacific Ocean, starting about 2:00pm ET in northern New Zealand and ending about 5:00pm ET at the southern tip of South America. It is the first total eclipse to hit the island in 1400 years.
