Total Solar Eclipse Wows Skywatchers Across Indonesia, Pacific Region

The skies went dark over parts of Indonesia and the Pacific Ocean region Tuesday evening (March 8) as the only total solar eclipse of 2016 took hold. "We've got totality here!" Paul Cox said Tuesday evening from Sulawesi, where he had traveled to host a live eclipse webcast for the Slooh Community Observatory. Indeed, the next solar eclipse — which will be visible from parts of Africa on Sept. 1 — will be the annular type.
