A solar eclipse will create a rare "ring of fire" over parts of South America on Wednesday. This occurs when the Moon is positioned between the Sun and Earth but does not completely block the Sun's light. The eclipse will be visible in Chile and Argentina, with the "ring of fire" expected around 1845 GMT. The event will last over three hours, starting at 1700 GMT and ending around 2030 GMT. A partial eclipse will also be seen in Bolivia, Peru, Paraguay, and other regions. Observers are advised to use certified eclipse glasses or indirect viewing methods to protect their eyes.
