The eclipse which started around 0230 GMT continued approximately for 4 hours.
The natural phenomenon called a partial solar eclipse could be observed from South America and Antarctica, especially from the west coasts of Chile.
The sunset of the 4-hour-long eclipse left a rarely seen "sun with horns" view.
Thousands of people followed those moments with curiosity.
A partial solar eclipse occurs when the moon partially covers the sun.
Following this partial solar eclipse, there will be a total lunar eclipse, also known as "Blood Moon" eclipse, on May 16.
Following that, the next partial solar eclipse will occur on October 25.
