Rare solar eclipse to cross remote Australia, IndonesiaA rare solar eclipse will cross over remote parts of Australia, Indonesia and East Timor. Thursday's hybrid solar eclipse will swoop from the Indian Ocean to the Pacific Ocean. The celestial event will shift between a total solar eclipse and a “ring of fire” eclipse as the moon's shadow moves across the Earth's surface.
