WATCH LIVE - Thousands watch solar eclipse in Chile

Thousands gather outside the La Silla observatory in Chile for top view of the solar eclipse set to blanket the sun over South America today (July 2) and is the first total eclipse of the sun to occur in two years.

NASA has said the eclipse will feature primarily in the Southern Hemisphere, darkening skies over the South Pacific and parts of South America.

A limited number of countries will see the moon pass in front of the sun, but it won't be visible for those in the UK.

The countries in best view to see the eclipse are Chile, Argentina and British Overseas Territory of Pitcairn Island.

The earliest places to see the eclipse will be on the ocean east of New Zealand.
