Spectacular Solar Eclipse Amazes Viewers in Australia and Indonesia.

Thousands of people gathered in Exmouth, Australia, to witness a rare solar eclipse that plunged part of the northwest coast into brief midday darkness. The eclipse also crossed remote parts of Indonesia and East Timor. NASA astronomer Henry Throop was among those cheering loudly in the darkness, describing the experience as "mind-blowing" and "spectacular." The phenomenon left first-time eclipse chaser Julie Copson feeling emotional and with tingling skin.
