Total solar eclipse: Day turns to night in Indonesia as Moon passes in front of Sun

A partial eclipse was visible in other parts of the Indonesian archipelago, as well as a swathe of Asia and in northern Australia. Cloudy skies in parts of Indonesia dampened the spectacle for some. In Palembang, a Sumatran city of more than 1.4 million, thousands of residents gathered at its landmark Ampera bridge from well before dawn, but the total eclipse was only briefly visible, if at all.
