During the April 20 solar eclipse, the width of the moon's shadow over the Earth's surface was just 49 km. It began as an annulus in the Indian Ocean, with total eclipse visible on the Cape Peninsula and Barrow Island in Western Australia, East Timor, Damar Island, and Papua Province in Indonesia. The event concluded as a circular eclipse in the Pacific Ocean.
