A rare solar eclipse has thrilled thousands of people who flocked to a remote Australian town for the best vantage point on Earth to watch it. The sky over Exmouth in Western Australia turned dark for about 60 seconds on Thursday, when the Moon cast a 40km-wide shadow over the area. The head of the town’s government is Darlene Allston. She told Newsday that the town’s population went from 3,000 people to an estimated 20,000: “We put in an extra 1,000 campsites…just so that we could accommodate people.” (Picture: Shows people watching a total solar eclipse at a viewing site near Exmouth, Western Australia.
