A total solar eclipse on Tuesday brought together crowds across South America, as people gathered to bask in the moon's shadow.
The eclipse was the first since the one visible in the US in August 2017. This time, the path of totality - where the moon totally blocked the sun - started in the South Pacific Ocean at 4:39 p.m. local time and followed a 6,000-mile trajectory.
In the final leg of its journey, the moon's shadow cut a short path across parts of Chile and Argentina. Here's what the eclipse and the viewing parties looked like there.
