Oct 2 2024 Eclipse. Annular solar eclipse october 2, 2024 occurs worldwide. But only 175,000 or so people live in the main path of the eclipse—a tiny number that includes the residents of easter island, and a remote stretch of southern chile and argentina.
Observers on rapa nui (easter island) and in far southern chile and argentina are in the path of the annular eclipse. On wednesday, october 2, 2024, the moon passes in front of the sun, casting its shadow across the pacific ocean.
