Total solar eclipse: Tourists flock to Chile for celestial show
People in parts of Argentina and Chile will gaze heavenwards to see a rare total solar eclipse.
Occurring around once every 18 months, a total solar eclipse is a sight many astronomers, scientists and enthusiasts follow keenly.
But in the Coquimbo and Atacama region in northern Chile where the skies are particularly clear, a number of tourists are hoping that this eclipse will be something special.
