Solar eclipse sweeps across Indonesia
Natural phenomena enthusiasts have gathered in Indonesia to watch a solar eclipse sweeping across the vast archipelago.
According to Indonesian meteorological officials, the moon began moving between the Earth and the sun at various locations early on Tuesday. A total solar eclipse was visible on Wednesday marked by prayers and tribal rituals at some places. This eclipse is a rare phenomenon in terms of the extent to which the moon blocks out the sun for a short time from the western island of Sumatra to Maluku Islands in the east. Thousands of foreign and domestic tourists watched the spectacle across the Southeast Asian nation.
